THE  GOSPEL 


ACCORDING  TO 


SAINT    JOHN. 


CHAPTER  I. 

1    The   divinitij,  humanitij,   and  office  of  Jesus  Christ.      15  The 
testimony  of  John.     39   The  calling  of  Andrew,  Peter,  <^c. 

T!N"  the  beginning  was  the  Word,  and  the  Word 
^  was  with  Grod,  and  the  Word  was  God. 

2  The  saire  was  in  the  beginning  with  Grod. 

3  All  things  were  made  by  him ;    and  without 
him  was  not  any  thing  made  that  was  made. 

4  In  him  was  life ;    and  the  hfe  was  the  hght 
of  men. 

5  And  the  light  shineth  in  darkness;    and  the 
darkness  comprehended  it  not. 

6  If  There  was  a  man  sent  from  Grod,  whose 
name  was  John.  i 

7  The  same  came  for  a  witness,  to  bear  wit- 
ness   of   the   Light,   that    all    men   through   him  ! 
might  beheve.  j 

8  He   was    not    that   Light,   but   was   sent   to  • 
bear  witness  of  that  Light. 

9  That   was    the    true    Light,   which    lighteth 
every  man  that  cometh  into  the  world. 

10  He  was  in   the  world,  and  the  world  was 
made  by  him,  and  the  world  knew  him  not. 

297 


I  '  ST.  JOHI^,  I. 

11  He  came  unto  his  own,  and  his  own  re- 
ceived him  not. 

12  But  as  many  as  received  him,  to  them  gave 
he  power  to  become  the  sons  of  Grod,  even  to 
them  that  beheve  on  his  name : 

13  Which  were  born,  not  of  blood,  nor  of  the 
will  of  the  flesh,  nor  of  the  will  of  man,  but  of 
God. 

14  And  the  Word  was  made  flesh,  and  dwelt 
among  us,  (and  we  beheld  his  glory,  the  glory 
as  of  the  only  begotten  of  the  Father,)  full  of 
grace  and  truth. 

15  Tf  John  bare  witness  of  him,  and  cried,  say- 
ing. This  was  he  of  whom  I  spake.  He  that 
Cometh  after  me  is  preferred  before  me;  for  he 
was  before  me. 

16  And  of  his  fulness  have  all  we  received, 
and  grace  for  grace. 

17  For  the  law  was  given  by  Moses,  hut  grace 
and  truth  came  by  Jesus  Christ. 

18  No  man  hath  seen  Grod  at  any  time ;  the 
only  begotten  Son,  which  is  in  the  bosom  of 
the  Father,  he  hath  declared  him, 

19  \  And  this  is  the  record  of  John,  when 
the  Jews  sent  priests  and  Levites  from  Jerusa- 
lem to  ask  him,  Who  art  thou? 

20  And  he  confessed,  and  denied  not;  but  con- 
fessed, I  am  not  the  Christ. 

21  And  they  asked  him,  What  then?  Art  thou 
Elias  ?  '  And  he  saith,  I  am  not.  Art  thou  that 
Prophet?     And  he  answered,  ]S"o. 

22  Then  said  they  unto  him,  Who  art  thou? 

298 


ST.  JOHN,  I. 

that  we  may  give  an  answer  to  them  that  sent 
us.     What  sayest  thou  of  thyself? 

23  He  said,  I  am  the  voice  of  one  crying  in 
the  wildernesSj  Make  straight  the  way  of  the 
Lordj  as  said  the  prophet  Esaias. 

24  And  they  which  were  sent  were  of  the 
Pharisees. 

25  And  they  asked  him,  and  said  unto  him, 
Why  baptizest  thou  then,  if  thou  be  not  that 
Christ,  nor  Elias,  neither  that  Prophet? 

26  John  answered  them,  saying,  I  baptize  with 
water :  but  there  standeth  one  among  you,  whom 
ye  know  not; 

27  He  it  is,  who  coming  after  me  is  preferred 
before  me,  whose  shoe's  latchet  I  am  not  worthy 
to  unloose. 

28  These  things  were  done  in  Bethabara  be- 
yond Jordan,  where  John  was  baptizing. 

29  T[  The  next  day  John  seeth  Jesus  coming 
unto  him,  and  saith.  Behold  the  Lamb  of  God, 
which  taketh  away  the  sin  of  the  world ! 

30  This  is  he  of  whom  I  said.  After  me  Com- 
eth a  man  which  is  preferred  before  me ;  for  he  ' 
was  before  me. 

31  And  I  knew  him  not:  but  that  he  should 
be  made  manifest  to  Israel,  therefore  am  I  come 
baptizing  with  water. 

32  And  John  bare  record,  saying,  I  saw  the 
Spirit  descending  from  heaven  like  a  dove,  and 
it  abode  upon  him. 

33  And  I  knew  him  not :  but  he  that  sent 
me   to   baptize  mth   water,  the    same    said   unto 

299 


ST.  JOHN,  I. 

me,  Upon  whom  thou  shalt  see  the  Spirit  de- 
scending, and  remaining  on  him,  the  same  is 
he  which  baptizeth  with  the  Holy  Grhost. 

34  And  I  saw,  and  bare  record  that  this  is 
the  Son  of  Grod. 

35  Tf  Again  the  next  day  after,  John  stood, 
and  two  of  his  disciples ; 

36  And  looking  upon  Jesus  as  he  walked,  he 
saith,  Behold  the  Lamb  of  Grod ! 

37  And  the  two  disciples  heard  him  speak^ 
and  they  followed  Jesus. 

38  Then  Jesus  turned,  and  saw  them  follow- 
ing, and  saith  unto  them,  What  seek  ye  ?  They 
said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  (which  is  to  say,  being 
interpreted,  Master,)  where  dwellest  thou  ? 

39  He  saith  unto  them.  Come  and  see.  They 
came  and  saw  where  he  dwelt,  and  abode 
with  him  that  day :  for  it  was  about  the  tenth 
hour. 

40  One  of  the  two  which  heard  John  speak^ 
and  followed  him,  was  Andrew,  Simon  Peter's 
brother. 

41  He  first  findeth  his  own  brother  Simon, 
and  saith  unto  him,  We  have  found  the  Mes- 
sias,  which  is,  being  interpreted,  the  Christ. 

42  And  he  brought  him  to  Jesus.  And  when 
Jesus  beheld  him,  he  said.  Thou  art  Simon  the 
son  of  Jona :  thou  shalt  be  called  Cephas,  which 
is  by  interpretation,  A  stone. 

43  Tf  The  day  following  Jesus  would  go  forth 
into  Galilee,  and  findeth  Phihp,  and  saith  unto 
him,  Follow  me. 

300 


ST.  JOHIf ,  ii. 

44  ]N"ow  Philip  was  of  Bethsaida,  the  city  of 
Andrew  and  Peter. 

45  Phihp  findeth  l^athanael,  and  saith  unto 
him,  We  have  found  him,  of  whom  Moses  in 
the  law,  and  the  prophets,  did  wiite,  Jesus  of 
Nazareth,  the  son  of  Joseph. 

46  And  Nathanael  said  unto  him.  Can  there 
any  good  thing  come  out  of  Nazareth?  Phihp 
saith  unto  him.   Come  and  see. 

47  Jesus   saw  Nathanael   coming   to   him,  and  , 
saith  of  him,  Behold  an  Israehte  indeed,  in  whom  ' 

is  no  guile  ! 

48  Nathanael  saith  unto  him.  Whence  know- 
est  thou  me  ?  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Before  that  Philip  called  thee,  when  thou 
wast  under  the  fig  tree,  I  saw  thee. 

49  Nathanael    answered    and    saith    unto    him,  ; 
Rabbi,  thou  art   the  Son  of  God;   thou  art  the 
King  of  Israel.  i 

50  Jesus   answered    and    said    unto    him,   Be- 1| 
cause   I   said   unto   thee,  I   saw   thee   under   the 
fig  •  tree,  behevest   thou  ?   thou  shalt  see   greater 
things  than  these.  | 

51  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you.  Hereafter  ye  shall  see  heaven 
open,  and  the  angels  of  &od  ascendmg  and 
descending  upon  the  Son  of  man. 

CHAPTER  II. 

1  Christ  turneth  water  into  wine,  \2departeth  into  Capernaum,and  to 
Jerusalem,  14  where  he  purgeth  the  temple  ofbmjers  and  sellers. 
19  He  foretelleth  his  death  and  resurrection,  23  Mamj  believed 
because  of  his  miracles,  hut  he  would  not  trust  himself  with  them. 

301 


ST.  JOHI^,  II. 

AND  the  third  day  there   was  a  marriage  in 
'  Cana  of  Gahlee;   and  the  mother  of  Jesus 
was  there : 

2  And  both  Jesus  was  caUed,  and  his  disci- 
ples, to  the  marriage. 

3  And  when  they  wanted  wine,  the  mother 
of  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  They  have  no  wine. 

4  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Woman,  what  have 
I  to  do  with  thee  ?   mine  hour  is  not  yet  come. 

5  His  mother  saith  unto  the  servants,  What- 
soever he  saith  unto  you,  do  it 

6  And  there  were  set  there  six  waterpots 
of  stone,  after  the  manner  of  the  purifying  of 
the  Jews,  containing  two  or  three   firkins  apiece. 

7  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Fill  the  waterpots 
with  water.  And  they  fiUed  them  up  to  the 
brim. 

8  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out  now, 
and  bear  unto  the  governor  of  the  feast.  And 
they  bare  it 

9  When  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had  tasted  the 
water  that  was  made  wine,  and  knew  hot 
whence  it  was,  (but  the  servants  which  drew 
the  water  knew,)  the  governor  of  the  feast  call- 
ed the  bridegroom, 

10  And  saith  unto  him.  Every  man  at  the 
beginning  doth  set  forth  good  wine  ;  and  when 
men  have  well  drunk,  then  that  which  is  worse : 
but  thou  hast  kept  the  good  wine  until  now. 

11  This  beginning  of  miracles  did  Jesus  in 
Cana  of  Gahlee,  and  manifested  forth  his  glory; 
and  his  disciples  believed  on  him. 


QOO 


ST.  JOHN,  II. 

12  t  After  this  he  went  down  to  Capernaum, 
he,  and  his  mother,  and  his  brethren,  and  his  dis- 
ciples ;    and  they  continued  there  not  many  days. 

13  t  And  the  Jews'  passover  was  at  hand,  and 
Jesus  went  up  to  Jerusalem, 

14  And  found  in  the  temple  those  that  sold 
oxen  and  sheep  and  doves,  and  the  changers  of 
money  sitting : 

15  And  when  he  had  made  a  scourge  of 
small  cords,  he  drove  them  all  out  of  the  tem- 
ple, and  the  sheep,  and  the  oxen;  and  poured 
out  the  changers'  money,  and  overthrew  the  tables ; 

16  And  said  unto  them  that  sold  doves.  Take 
these  things  hence ;  make  not  my  Father's 
house  a  house  of  merchandise. 

17  And  his  disciples  remembered  that  it  was 
written.  The  zeal  of  thine  house  hath  eaten 
me  up. 

18  1[  Then  answered  the  Jews  and  said  unto 
him.  What  sign  shewest  thou  unto  us,  seeing 
that  thou  doest  these  things  ? 

19  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them.  De- 
stroy this  temple,  and  in  three  days  I  will  raise 
it  up. 

20  Then  said  the  Jews,  Forty  and  six  years 
was  this  temple  in  building,  and  wilt  thou  rear 
it  up  in  three  days  ? 

21  But  he  spake  of  the  temple  of  his  body. 

22  When    therefore    he    was    risen    from    the 

dead,    his    disciples    remembered    that     he    had 

said    this    unto    them;    and    they    beUeved    the 

Scripture,  and  the  word  which  Jesus  had  said. 

B  303 


ST.  JOHN,  III. 

23  ^  ISTow  when  he  was  in  Jerusalem  at  the 
passover,  in  the  feast  day^  many  believed  in  his 
name,  when  they  saw  the  miracles  which  he  did. 

24  But  Jesus  did  not  commit  himself  unto 
them,  because  he  knew  all  men^ 

25  And  needed  not  that  any  should  testify  of 
man;  for  he  knew  what  was  in  man. 

CHAPTER  III. 

1  Christ  teacheth  Nicodemus  the  necessity  of  regeneration.     14  Of 
faith  in  his  death,     16  The  great  love  of  God  towards  the  world. 
18  Condemnation  for  unbelief     23   The  baptism,  witness  and 
doctrine  of  John  concerning  Christ. 

npHERE  was  a  man  of  the   Pharisees,  named 
^    Mcodemus,  a  ruler  of  the  Jews : 

2  The  same  came  to  Jesus  by  night,  and 
said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  we  know  that  thou  art  a 
teacher  come  from  God :  for  no  man  can  do  these 
miracles  that  thou  doest,  except  God  be  with  him. 

3  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  thee.  Except  a  man  be  born 
again,  he  cannot  see  the  kingdom  of  God. 

4  Mcodemus  saith  unto  him.  How  can  a  man 
be  born  when  he  is  old  ?  can  he  enter  the  sec- 
ond time  into  his  mother^ s  womb,  and  be  born? 

5  Jesus  answered.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
thee,  Except  a  man  be  born  of  water  and  of  the 
Spirit,  he  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

6  That  which  is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh ; 
and  that  which  is  born  of  the  Spirit  is   spirit. 

7  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee,  Te  must 
be  born  again. 

8  The  wind  bloweth  where  it  hsteth,  and  thou 

304 


ST.  JOHN,  III. 

hearest  the  sound  thereof,  but  canst  not  tell 
whence  it  cometli,  and  whither  it  goeth:  so  is 
every  one  that  is  born  of  the  Spirit. 

9  Mcodemus  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
How  can  these  things  be  ? 

10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Art  thou 
a  master  of  Israel,  and  knowest  not  these  things? 

11  Yerily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  We  speak 
that  we  do  know,  and  testify  that  we  have 
seen ;  and  ye  receive  not  our  witness. 

12  If  I  have  told  you  earthly  things,  and  ye 
believe  not,  how  shaU  ye  beheve,  if  I  tell  you 
of  heavenly  things  % 

13  And  no  man  hath  ascended  up  to  heav- 
en, but  he  that  came  down  from  heaven,  even 
the  Son  of  man  which  is  in  heaven. 

14  Tf  And  as  Moses  lifted  up  the  serpent  in 
the  wilderness,  even  so  must  the  Son  of  man 
be  lifted  up : 

15  That  whosoever  belie veth  in  him  should 
not  perish,  but  have  eternal  life. 

16  T[  For  God  so  loved  the  world,  that  he 
gave  his  only  begotten  Son,  that  whosoever  be- 
lieveth  in  him  should  not  perish,  but  have  ever- 
lasting life. 

17  For  Grod  sent  not  his  Son  into  the  world 
to  condemn  the  world ;  but  that  the  world 
through  him  might  be  saved. 

18  T[  He  that  belie  veth  on  him  is  not  condemned : 
but  he  that  believeth  not  is  condemned  already, 
because  he  hath  not  believed  in  the  name  of 
the  only  begotten  Son  of  Q-od. 

20  305 


ST.  JOES',  III. 

19  And  this  is  the  condemnation,  that  light 
is  come  into  the  world,  and  men  loved  dark- 
ness rather  than  light,  because  their  deeds  were 
evil. 

20  For  every  one  that  doeth  evil  hateth  the 
light,  neither  cometh  to  the  light,  lest  his  deeds 
should  be  reproved. 

21  But  he  that  doeth  truth  cometh  to  the 
light,  that  his  deeds  may  be  made  manifest,  that 
they  are  wrought  in  God. 

22  ^1  After  these  things  came  Jesus  and  his 
disciples  into  the  land  of  Judea;  and  there  he 
tarried  with  them,  and  baptized. 

23  ^  And  John  also  was  baptizing  in  Bnon  near 
to  Salim,  because  there  was  much  water  there: 
and  they  came,  and  were  baptized. 

24  For  John  was  not  yet  cast  into  prison. 

25  1  Then  there  arose  a  question  between  some 
of  John's  disciples  and  the  Jews  about  purifying. 

26  And  they  came  unto  John,  and  said  unto 
him.  Rabbi,  he  that  was  with  thee  beyond  Jor- 
dan, to  whom  thou  barest  witness,  behold,  the 
same  baptizeth,  and  all  men  come  to  him. 

27  John  answered  and  said,  A  man  can  re- 
ceive nothing,  except  it  be  given  him  from 
heaven. 

28  Te  yourselves  bear  me  witness,  that  I  said, 
I  am  not  the  Christ,  but  that  I  am  sent  before 
him. 

29  He  that  hath  the  bride  is  the  bridegroom : 
but  the  friend  of  the  bridegroom,  which  stand- 
eth   and   heareth   him,   rejoiceth   greatly  because 

306 


ST.  JOHN,  IV. 

of  the   bridegroom's   voice :    this   my  joy   there- 
fore is  fulfilled. 

30  He  must  inereasej  but  I  must  decrease. 

31  He  that  cometh  fi^om  above  is  above  all: 
he  that  is  of  the  earth  is  earthly,  and  speaketh 
of  the  earth :  he  that  cometh  from  heaven  is 
above  all. 

32  And  what  he  hath  seen  and  heard,  that  he 
testifieth;  and  no  man  receiveth  his  testimony. 

33  He  that  hath   received   his   testimony  hathv' 
set  to  his  seal  that  Grod  is  true.  \ 

34  For  he  whom  God  hath  sent  speaketh  the 
words  of  Grod:  for  God  giveth  not  the  Spirit 
by  measure  unto  Mm, 

35  The  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  hath  given 
all  things  into  his  hand. 

36  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  hath  everlast- 
ing life :  and  he  that  believeth  not  the  Son  shall 
not  see  life ;  but  the  wrath  of  God  abideth  on  him. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

1  Christ  talketh  with  a  woman  of  Samaria^  and  revealeth  himself 
unto  her.  27  His  disciples  marvel.  31  He  declareth  to  them 
his  zeal  to  God's  glorij.  39  Maiuj  Samaritans  believe  on  him. 
43  He  departeth  into  Galilee^  and  healeth  the  rider's  son  that  lay 
sick  at  Capernaum. 

VVTHEIN'   therefore    the   Lord   knew   how   the 
^  ^     Pharisees   had  heard  that  Jesus  made  and 
baptized  more  disciples  than  John, 

2  (Though  Jesus  himself  baptized  not,  but  his 
disciples,) 

3  He  left  Judea,  and  departed  again  into  Gal- 
ilee. 

4  And  he  must  needs  go  through  Samaria. 

307 


ST.  JOHN,  IV. 

5  Then  cometh  he  to  a  city  of  Samaria,  which 
is  called  Sychar,  near  to  the  parcel  of  ground 
that  Jacob  gave  to  his  son  Joseph. 

6  Ifow  Jacob's  well  was  there.  Jesus  there- 
fore, being  wearied  with  his  journey,  sat  thus 
on  the  well:  and  it  was  about  the  sixth  hour. 

7  There  cometh  a  woman  of  Samaria  to  draw 
water :  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Give  me  to  drink. 

8  (For  his  disciples  were  gone  away  unto  the 
city  to  buy  meat.) 

9  Then  saith  the  woman  of  Samaria  unto  him, 
How  is  it  that  thou,  being  a  Jew,  askest  drink 
of  me,  which  am  a  woman  of  Samaria  ?  for  the 
Jews  have  no  dealings  with  the  Samaritans. 

10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her.  If  thou 
knewest  the  gift  of  God,  and  who  it  is  that 
saith  to  thee.  Give  me  to  drink;  thou  wouldest 
have  asked  of  him,  and  he  would  have  given 
thee  living  water. 

11  The  woman  saith  unto  him.  Sir,  thou  hast 
nothing  to  draw  with,  and  the  well  is  deep : 
from  whence  then  hast  thou  that  living  water? 

12  Art  thou  greater  than  our  father  Jacob, 
which  gave  us  the  well,  and  drank  thereof  him- 
self, and  his  children,  and  his  cattle? 

13  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her.  Whoso- 
ever drinketh  of  this  water  shall  thirst  again : 

14  But  whosoever  drinketh  of  the  water  that 
I  shall  give  him  shall  never  thirst;  but  the 
water  that  I  shall  give  him  shall  be  in  him  a 
well  of  water  springing  up  into  everlasting  life. 

15  The  woman   saith   unto   him.  Sir,  give   me 

308 


•     ST.  JOHIf,  IV. 

this  water,  that  I  thirst  not,  neither  come  hither 
to  draw. 

16  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Go,  call  thy  hus- 
band, and  come  hither. 

17  The  woman  answered  and  said,  I  have 
no  husband.  Jesus  said  unto  her,  Thou  hast 
well  said,  I  have  no  husband  : 

18  For  thou  hast  had  five  husbands;  and  he 
whom  thou  now  hast  is  not  thy  husband:  in 
that  saidst  thou  truly. 

19  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  Sir,  I  perceive 
that  thou  art  a  prophet. 

20  Our  fathers  worshipped  in  this  mountain; 
and  ye  say,  that  in  Jerusalem  is  the  place  where 
men  ought  to  worship. 

21  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Woman,  beheve  me, 
the  hour  cometh,  when  ye  shall  neither  in  this 
mountain,  nor  yet  at  Jerusalem,  worship  the 
Father. 

22  Ye  worship  ye  know  not  what:  we  know 
what  we  worship ;  for  salvation  is  of  the  Jews. 

23  But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now  is,  when 
the  true  worshippers  shall  worship  the  Father 
in  spirit  and  in  truth:  for  the  Father  seeketh 
such  to  worship  him. 

24  God  is  a  Spirit:  and  they  that  worship 
him  must  worship  Mm  m.  spirit  and  in  truth. 

25  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  I  know  that 
Messias  cometh,  which  is  called  Christ :  when  he 
is  come,  he  vdll  tell  us  all  things. 

26  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  I  that  speak  unto 
thee  am  he. 

309 


ST.  JOHN,  lY. 

27  1  And  upon  this  came  his  disciples,  and 
marvelled  that  he  talked  with  the  woman:  yet 
no  man  said,  What  seekest  thou?  or,  Why  talk- 
est  thou  with  her? 

28  The  woman  then  left  her  waterpot,  and  went 
her  way  into  the  city,  and  saith  to  the  men, 

29  Come,  see  a  man,  which  told  me  all  things 
that  ever  I  did :    is  not  this  the  Christ  ? 

30  Then  they  went  out  of  the  city,  and  came 
unto  him. 

31  t  In  the  mean  while  his  disciples  prayed 
him,  saying,  Master,  eat. 

32  But  he  said  unto  them,  I  have  meat  to 
eat  that  ye  know  not  of 

33  Therefore  said  the  disciples  one  to  an- 
other, Hath  any  man  brought  him  aught  to  eat  ? 

34  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  My  meat  is  to  do 
the  will  of  him  that  sent  me,  and  to  finish 
his  work. 

35  Say  not  ye.  There  are  yet  four  months, 
and  then  cometh  harvest  ?  behold,  I  say  unto 
you.  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  look  on  the  fields ; 
for  they  are  white  already  to  harvest. 

36  And  he  that  reapeth  receiveth  wages,  and 
gathereth  fi:*uit  unto  life  eternal :  that  both  he 
that  soweth  and  he  that  reapeth  may  rejoice  to- 
gether. 

37  And  herein  is  that  saying  true,  One  sow- 
eth, and  another  reapeth. 

38  I  sent  you  to  reap  that  whereon  ye  be- 
stowed no  labour :  other  men  laboured,  and  ye 
are  entered  into  their  labours. 

310 


ST.  JOHN,  IV. 

39  T  And  many  of  the  Samaritans  of  that  city 
believed  on  him  for  the  saying  of  the  woman, 
which  testified,  He  told   me  all  that  ever  I  did. 

40  So  when  the  Samaritans  were  come  unto 
him,  they  besought  him  that  he  would  tarry 
with  them :    and  he  abode  there  two  days. 

41  And  many  more  beheved  because  of  his 
own  word ; 

42  And  said  unto  the  woman,  JSTow  we  be- 
lieve, not  because  of  thy  saying:  for  we  have 
heard  him  ourselves,  and  know  that  this  is  in- 
deed the  Christ,  the  Saviour  of  the  world. 

43  1"  IsTow  after  two  days  he  departed  thence, 
and  went  into  Gralilee. 

44  For  Jesus  himself  testified,  that  a  prophet 
hath  no  honour  in  his  own  country. 

45  Then  when  he  was  come  into  Gahlee,  the 
Galileans  received  him,  having  seen  all  the  things 
that  he  did  at  Jerusalem  at  the  feast :  for  they 
also  went  unto  the  feast. 

46  So  Jesus  came  again  into  Cana  of  Gali- 
lee, where  he  made  the  water  wine.  And  there 
was  a  certain  nobleman,  whose  son  was  sick 
at  Capernaum. 

47  When  he  heard  that  Jesus  was  come  out 
of  Judea  into  GaHlee,  he  went  unto  him,  and 
besought  him  that  he  would  come  down,  and 
heal  his  son :   for  he  was  at  the  point  of  death. 

48  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  Except  ye  see 
signs  and  wonders,  ye  will  not  believe. 

49  The  nobleman  saith  unto  him.  Sir,  come 
down  ere  my  child  die. 

B  311 


ST.  JOHN,  V. 

50  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Gro  thy  way ;  thy 
son  hveth.  And  the  man  believed  the  word 
that  Jesus  had  spoken  unto  him,  and  he  went 
his  way. 

51  And  as  he  was  now  going  down,  his  serv- 
ants met  him,  and  told  Am,  saying.  Thy  son 
liveth. 

52  Then  inquired  he  of  them  the  hour  when 
he  began  to  amend.  And  they  said  unto  him, 
Yesterday  at  the  seventh  hour  the  fever  left 
him. 

53  So  the  father  knew  that  it  was  at  the 
same  hour,  in  the  which  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
Thy  son  liveth :  and  himself  believed,  and  his 
whole  house. 

54  This  is  again  the  second  miracle  that  Je- 
sus did,  when  he  was  come  out  of  Judea  into 
Galilee. 

CHAPTER  Y. 

1  Jesus  on  the  sahhath  day  cureth  him  that  was  diseased  eight  and 
thirtij  years.      10   The  Jews  therefore  cavil,  and  persecute  him 
for  it.      17  He  answer eth  for  himself.,  and  reproveth  them.,  shew- 
ing by  the  testimony  of  his  Father,    32   of  John,    36   of  his 
works,  39  and  of  the  Scriptures,  who  he  is. 

AFTER  this  there  was  a  feast  of  the  Jews; 
-^^^  and  Jesus  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 

2  JSTow  there  is  at  Jerusalem  by  the  sheep 
market  a  pool,  which  is  called  in  the  Hebrew 
tongue  Bethesda,  having  five  porches. 

3  In  these  lay  a  great  multitude  of  impotent 
folk,  of  bUnd,  halt,  withered,  waiting  for  the 
moving  of  the  water. 

4  For   an  angel  went  down  at  a  certain  sea- 

312 


ST.  JOHN,  y. 

son  into  the  pool,  and  troubled  the  water :  who- 
soever then  first  after  the  troubling  of  the  wa- 
ter stepped  in  was  made  whole  of  whatsoever 
disease  he  had. 

5  And  a  certain  man  was  there,  which  had 
an  infirmity  tliirty  and  eight  years. 

6  When  Jesus  saw  him  lie,  and  knew  that 
he  had  been  now  a  long  time  in  that  case^  he 
saith  unto  him.  Wilt  thou  be  made  whole  ? 

7  The  impotent  man  answered  him.  Sir,  I 
have  no  man,  when  the  water  is  troubled,  to 
put  me  into  the  pool :  but  while  I  am  coming, 
another  steppeth  down  before  me. 

8  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Rise,  take  up  thy 
bed,  and  walk. 

9  And  immediately  the  man  was  made  whole, 
and  took  up  his  bed,  and  walked :  and  on  the 
same  day  was  the  sabbath. 

10  Tf  The  Jews  therefore  said  unto  him  that 
was  cured.  It  is  the  sabbath  day :  it  is  not 
lawful  for  thee  to  carry  thy  bed. 

11  He  answered  them.  He  that  made  me 
whole,  the  same  said  unto  me.  Take  up  thy 
bed,  and  walk. 

12  Then  asked  they  him.  What  man  is  that 
which  said  unto  thee,  Take  up  thy  bed,  and 
walk? 

13  And  he  that  was  healed  wist  not  who  it 
was :  for  Jesus  had  conveyed  himself  away,  a 
multitude  being  in  that  place. 

14  Afterward  Jesus  findeth  him  in  the  tem- 
ple, and   said  unto  him,  Behold,  thou   art  made 

313 


.^^ 


ST.  JOHN,  V. 

whole:    sin   no   more,   lest   a  worse   thing    come 
unto  thee. 

15  The  man  departed,  and  told  the  Jews  that 
it  was  Jesus,  which  had  made  him  whole. 

16  And  therefore  did  the  Jews  persecute  Je- 
srus,  and  sought  to  slay  him,  because  he  had 
done  these  things  on  the  sabbath  day. 

17  IT  But  Jesus  answered  them,  My  Father 
worketh  hitherto,  and  I  work. 

18  Therefore  the  Jews  sought  the  more  to 
kill  him,  because  he  not  only  had  broken  the 
sabbath,  but  said  also  that  God  was  his  Fa- 
ther, making  himself  equal  with  God. 

19  Then  answered  Jesus  and  said  unto  them, 
Yerily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  The  Son  can 
do  nothing  of  himself,  but  what  he  seeth  the 
Father  do :  for  what  things  soever  he  doeth, 
these  also  doeth  the  Son  likewise. 

20  For  the  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  shew- 
eth  him  all  things  that  himself  doeth:  and  he 
win  shew  him  greater  works  than  these,  that 
ye  may  marvel. 

21  For  as  the  Father  raiseth  up  the  dead, 
and  quickeneth  them;  even  so  the  Son  quicken- 
eth  whom  he  will. 

22  For  the  Father  judgeth  no  man,  but  hath 
committed  all  judgment  unto  the  Son : 

23  That  all  men  should  honour  the  Son,  even 
as  they  honour  the  Father.  He  that  honour- 
eth  not  the  Son  honoureth  not  the  Father  which 
hath  sent  him. 

24  Verily,   verily,   I    say   unto    you,   He    that 

314 


ST.  JOH]ff,  V. 

heareth  my  word,  and  believeth  on  him  that 
sent  me,  hath  everlasting  hfe,  and  shall  not 
come  into  condemnation;  but  is  passed  from 
death  unto  life. 

25  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  The  hour  is 
coming,  and  now  is,  when  the  dead  shall  hear 
the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God:  and  they  that 
hear  shall  live. 

26  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in  himself;  so 
hath  he  given  to  the  Son  to  have  life  in  himself; 

27  And  hath  given  him  authority  to  execute 
judgment  also,  because  he  is  the  Son  of  man. 

28  Marvel  not  at  this:  for  the  hour  is  coming, 
in  the  which  all  that  are  in  the  graves  shall 
hear  his  voice, 

29  And  shall  come  forth;  they  that  have  done 
good,  unto  the  resurrection  of  life;  and  they 
that  have  done  evil,  unto  the  resurrection  of 
damnation. 

30  I  can  of  mine  own  self  do  nothing:  as  I 
hear,  I  judge:  and  my  judgment  is  just;  be- 
cause I  seek  not  mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of 
the  Father  which  hath  sent  me. 

31  If  I  bear  witness  of  myself,  my  witness  is 
not  true. 

32  T[  There  is  another  that  beareth  witness  of 
me ;  and  I  know  that  the  witness  which  he  wit- 
nesseth  of  me  is  true. 

33  Ye  sent  unto  John,  and  he  bare  witness 
unto  the  truth. 

34  But  T  receive  not  testimony  from  mmi :  but 
these  things  I  say,  that  ye  might  be  saved. 

315 


ST.  JOHisr,  Y. 

35  He  was  a  burning  and  a  shining  light :  and 
ye  were  wilhng  for  a  season  to  rejoice  in  his 
hght. 

36  ^  But  I  have  greater  witness  than  that  of 
John:  for  the  works  which  the  Father  hath 
given  me  to  finish,  the  same  works  that  I  do, 
bear  witness  of  me,  that  the  Father  hath  sent 
me. 

37  And  the  Father  himself,  which  hath  sent 
me,  hath  borne  witness  of  me.  Ye  have  neither 
heard  his  voice  at  any  time,  nor  seen  his  shape. 

38  And  ye  have  not  his  word  abiding  in  you: 
for  whom  he  hath  sent,  him  ye  believe  not. 

39  %  Search  the  Scriptures ;  for  in  them  ye  think 
ye  have  eternal  life :  and  they  are  they  which 
testify  of  me. 

40  And  ye  will  not  come  to  me,  that  ye 
might  have  life. 

41  I  receive  not  honour  from  men. 

42  But  I  know  you^  that  ye  have  not  the  love 
of  Grod  in  you. 

43  I  am  come  in  my  Father's  name,  and  ye 
receive  me  not :  if  another  shall  come  in  his 
own  name,  him  ye  will  receive. 

44  How  can  ye  believe,  which  receive  honour 
one  of  another,  and  seek  not  the  honour  that 
Cometh  from  Grod  only? 

45  Do  not  think  that  I  will  accuse  you  to  the 
Father :  there  is  one  that  accuseth  you,  even 
Moses,  in  whom  ye  trust. 

46  For  had  ye  behoved  Moses,  ye  would  have 

believed  me :  for  he  wrote  of  me. 
316 


ST.  JOHN,  VI. 

47  But  if  ye  believe  not  his  writings,  how 
shall  ye  believe  my  words? 

CHAPTER  YI 

1  Christ  feedeth  Jive  thousand  men  with  Jive  loaves  and  two  Jishes, 
15  Thereupon  the  people  would  have  made  hiin  ki7ig.  16  But 
withdrawing  himself,  he  walketh  on  the  sea  to  his  disciples  .-26 
reproveth  the  people  Jlocking  after  him,  and  all  thefleshhj  hearers 
of  his  word:  32  declareth  himself  to  he  the  bread  of  life  to  be- 
lievers. 66  Mamj  disciples  depart  from  him,  68  Feter  con- 
fesseth  him,     70  Judas  is  a  devil. 

A  FTER  these  things  Jesus  went  over  the  sea 
"^^^  of  GraKleej  which  is  the  sea  of  Tiberias. 

2  And  a  great  multitude  followed  him,  be- 
cause they  saw  his  miracles  which  he  did  on 
them  that  were  diseased. 

3  And  Jesus  went  up  into  a  mountain,  and 
there  he  sat  with  his  disciples. 

4  And  the  passover,  a  feast  of  the  Jews,  was  nigh. 

5  1"  When  Jesus  then  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw  a  great  company  come  unto  him,  he  saith 
unto  Philip,  Whence  shall  we  buy  bread,  that 
these  may  eat  ? 

6  And  this  he  said  to  prove  him :  for  he 
himself  knew  what  he  would  do. 

7  Philip  answered  him.  Two  hundred  penny- 
worth of  bread  is  not  sufficient  for  them,  that 
every  one  of  them  may  take  a  little. 

8  One  of  his  disciples,  Andrew,  Simon  Peter^s 
brother,  saith  unto  him, 

9  There  is  a  lad  here,  which  hath  five  bar- 
ley loaves,  and  two  small  fishes :  but  what  are 
they  among  so  many  ? 

10  And  Jesus   said.  Make   the  men   sit  down. 

317 


ST.  JOHIN^,  VI. 

Now   there   was   much   grass   in   the   place.     So 
the  men  sat  down,  in  number  about  five  thousand. 

11  And  Jesus  took  the  loaves ;  and  when  he 
had  given  thanks,  he  distributed  to  the  disci- 
ples, and  the  disciples  to  them  that  were  set 
down ;  and  likewise  of  the  fishes  as  much  as 
they  would. 

12  When  they  were  filled,  he  said  unto  his 
disciples.  Gather  up  the  fragments  that  remain, 
that  nothing  be  lost. 

13  Therefore  they  gathered  them  together,  and 
filled  twelve  baskets  with  the  fragments  of  the 
five  barley  loaves,  which  remained  over  and 
above  unto  them  that  had  eaten. 

14  Then  those  men,  when  they  had  seen  the 
miracle  that  Jesus  did,'  said,  This  is  of  a  truth 
that  Prophet  that  should  come  into  the  world. 

15  1  When  Jesus  therefore  perceived  that  they 
would  come  and  take  him  by  force,  to  make 
him  a  king,  he  departed  again  into  a  mount- 
ain himself  alone. 

16  And  when  even  was  now  come,  his  dis- 
ciples went  down  unto  the  sea, 

17  And  entered  into  a  ship,  and  went  over 
the  sea  toward  Capernaum.  And  it  was  now 
dark,  and  Jesus  was  not  come  to  them. 

18  And  the  sea  arose  by  reason  of  a  great 
wind  that  blew. 

19  So  when  they  had  rowed  about  five  and 
twenty  or  thirty  furlongs,  they  see  Jesus  walk- 
ing on  the  sea,  and  drawing  nigh  unto  the 
ship  :    and  they  were  afraid. 

318 


ST.  JOHI^,  YI 

20  But  he  saith  unto  them,  It  is  I ;  be  not 
afraid. 

21  Then  they  wilHngly  received  him  into  the 
ship :  and  immediately  the  ship  was  at  the 
land  whither  they  went. 

22  If  The  day  following,  when^  the  people, 
which  stood  on  the  other  side  of  the  sea,  saw 
that  there  was  none  other  boat  there,  save  that 
one  whereinto  his  disciples  were  entered,  and 
that  Jesus  went  not  with  his  disciples  into  the 
boat,  but  that  his  disciples  were  gone  away 
alone ; 

23  Howbeit  there  came  other  boats  from  Ti- 
berias nigh  unto  the  place  where  they  did  eat 
bread,  after  that  the  Lord  had  given  thanks : 

24  When  the  people  therefore  saw  that  Je- 
sus was  not  there,  neither  his  disciples,  they 
also  took  shipping,  and  came  to  Capernaum, 
seeking  for  Jesus. 

25  And  when  they  had  found  him  on  the 
other  side  of  the  sea,  they  said  unto  him.  Rabbi, 
when  camest  thou  hither? 

26  Jesus  answered  them  and  said.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Ye  seek  me,  not  because 
ye  saw  the  miracles,  but  because  ye  did  eat  of 
the  loaves,  and  were  filled. 

27  Labour  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth, 
but  for  that  meat  which  endureth  unto  ever- 
lasting life,  which  the  Son  of  man  shall  give 
unto  you:    for  him  hath  Grod  the  Father  sealed. 

28  Then  said  they  unto  him.  What  shall  we 
do,  that  we  might  work  the  works  of  God? 

c  319 


ST.  JOHIf,  VI. 

29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  This  is 
the  work  of  God,  that  ye  beheve  on  him  whom 
he  hath  sent. 

30  They  said  therefore  unto  him,  What  sign 
shewest  thou  then,  that  we  may  see,  and  beheve 
thee?  what  dost  thou  work? 

81  Our  fathers  did  eat  manna  in  the  desert; 
as  it  is  written,  He  gave  them  bread  from 
heaven  to  eat. 

32  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  you,  Moses  gave  you  not  that  bread 
from  heaven;  but  my  Father  giveth  you  the 
true  bread  from  heaven. 

33  For  the  bread  of  God  is  he  which  cometh 
down  from  heaven,  and  giveth  life  unto  the 
world. 

34  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Lord,  evermore 
give  us  this  bread. 

35  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  I  am  the  bread 
of  life :  he  that  cometh  to  me  shall  never 
hunger ;  and  he  that  believeth  on  me  shall 
never  thirst. 

36  But  I  said  unto  you.  That  ye  also  have 
seen  me,  and  believe  not. 

37  All  that  the  Father  giveth  me  shall  6ome 
to  me ;  and  him  that  cometh  to  me  I  will  in 
no  wise  cast  out. 

38  For  I  came  down  from  heaven,  not  to  do 
mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  him  that  sent 
me. 

39  And  this  is  the  Father's  will  which  hath 
sent   me,   that   of  all  which  he   hath  given   me 

320 


ST.  JOHN",  VI. 

I    should    lose   nothing,   but    should   raise   it   up 
again  at  the  last  day. 

40  And  this  is  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me, 
that  every  one  which  seeth  the  Son,  and  believ- 
eth  on  him,  may  have  everlasting  life:  and  I 
will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

41  The  Jews  then  murmured  at  him,  because 
he  said,  I  am  the  bread  which  came  down  from 
heaven. 

42  And  they  said.  Is  not  this  Jesus,  the  son 
of  Joseph,  whose  father  and  mother  we  know? 
how  is  it  then  that  he  saith,  I  came  down  from 
heaven  ? 

43  Jesus  therefore  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Murmur  not  among  yourselves. 

44  No  man  can  come  to  me,  except  the  Fa- 
ther which  hath  sent  me  draw  him:  and  I  will 
raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

45  It  is  written  in  the  prophets.  And  they 
shall  be  all  taught  of  God.  Every  man  there- 
fore that  hath  heard,  and  hath  learned  of  the 
Father,  cometh  unto  me. 

46  Not  that  any  man  hath  seen  the  Father, 
save  he  which  is  of  God,  he  hath  seen  the 
Father. 

47  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that 
believeth  on  me  hath  everlasting  hfe. 

48  I  am  that  bread  of  life. 

49  Tour  fathers  did  eat  manna  in  the  wilder- 
ness, and  are  dead. 

50  This  is  the  bread  which  cometh  down  from 
heaven,  that  a  man  may  eat  thereof,  and  not  die. 

21  321 


ST.  JOH^,  VI. 

51  I  am  the  living  bread  which  came  down 
fi^om  heaven:  if  any  man  eat  of  this  bread,  he 
shall  hve  for  ever :  and  the  bread  that  I  'will 
give  is  my  flesh,  which  I  will  give  for  the  life 
of  the  world. 

52  The  Jews  therefore  strove  among  them- 
selves, saying.  How  can  this  man  give  us  Us 
flesh  to  eat? 

53  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily,  verily 
I  say  unto  you.  Except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
Son  of  man,  and  drink  his  blood,  ye  have  no  hfe 
in  you. 

54  Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my 
blood,  hath  eternal  life ;  and  I  will  raise  him  up 
at  the  last  day. 

55  For  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and  my  blood 
is  drink  indeed. 

56  He  that  eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my 
blood,  dwelleth  in  me,  and  I  in  him. 

57  As  the  hving  Father  hath  sent  me,  and  I 
live  by  the  Father;  so  he  that  eateth  me,  even 
he  shall  live  by  me. 

58  This  is  that  bread  which  came  down  fi^om 
heaven:  not  as  your  fathers  did  eat  manna,  and 
are  dead:  he  that  eateth  of  this  bread  shall 
live  for  ever. 

59  These  things  said  he  in  the  synagogue,  as 
he  taught  in  Capernaum. 

60  Many  therefore  of  his  disciples,  when  they 
had  heard  this^  said,  This  is  a  hard  saying;  who 
can  hear  it? 

61  When  Jesus  knew  in  himself  that  his  dis- 

322 


ST.  JOHW,  VII. 

ciples  murmured  at  it,  he  said  unto  them,  Doth 
this  offend  you? 

62  What  and  if  ye  shall  see  the  Son  of  man 
ascend  up  where  he  was  before? 

63  It  is  the  Spirit  that  quickeneth;  the  flesh 
profiteth  nothing:  the  worcls  that  I  speak  unto 
you,  they  are  spirit,  and  they  are  life. 

64  But  there  are  some  of  you  that  believe  not. 
For  Jesus  knew  from  the  beginning  who  they  were 
that  beheved  not,  and  who  should  betray  him. 

65  And  he  said.  Therefore  said  I  unto  you, 
that  no  man  can  come  unto  me,  except  it  were 
given  unto  him  of  my  Father. 

66  Tf  From  that  time  many  of  his  disciples  went 
back,  and  walked  no  more  with  him. 

67  Then  said  Jesus  unto  the  twelve,  Will  ye 
also  go  away  ? 

68  Then  Simon  Peter  answered  him.  Lord, 
to  whom  shall  we  go  ?  thou  hast  the  words 
of  eternal  life. 

69  And  we  believe  and  are  sure  that  thou 
art  that  Christ,  the  Son  of  the  living  Grod. 

70  Jesus  answered  them,  Have  not  I  chosen 
you  twelve,  and  one  of  you  is  a  devil  ? 

71  He  spake  of  Judas  Iscariot  the  son  of 
Simon :  for  he  it  was  that  should  betray  him, 
being  one  of  the  twelve. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

1  Jesus  reproveth  the  ambition  and  boldness  of  Ms  kinsmen:  10 
goeth  up  from  Galilee  to  the  feast  of  tabernacles :  14  teacheth  in 
the  temple.  40  Divers  opinions  of  him  among  the  people.  45  The 
Pharisees  are  angry  that  their  officers  took  him  noty  and  chide 
with  Nicodemus  for  taking  his  part. 

323 


ST.  JOHN,  YII. 

AFTER  these  things  Jqsus  walked  in  Gali- 
-^^  lee  :  for  he  would  not  walk  in  Jewry,  be- 
cause the  Jews  sought  to  kill  him. 

2  IN'ow  the  Jews'  feast  of  tabernacles  was  at 
hand. 

3  His  brethren  therefore  said  unto  him.  De- 
part hence,  and  go  into  Judea,  that  thy  disci- 
ples also  may  see  the  works  that  thou  doest. 

4  For  there  is  no  man  that  doeth  any  thing 
in  secret,  and  he  himself  seeketh  to  be  known 
openly.  If  thou  do  these  things,  shew  thyself 
to  the  world. 

5  For  neither  did  his  brethren  believe  in  him. 

6  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  My  time  is 
not  yet  come :    but  your  time  is  always  ready. 

7  The  world  cannot  hate  you ;  but  me  it 
hateth,  because  I  testify  of  it,  that  the  works 
thereof  are  evil. 

8  Gk)  ye  up  unto  this  feast :  I  go  not  up 
yet  unto  this  feast ;  for  my  time  is  not  yet 
full  come. 

9  When  he  had  said  these  words  unto  them, 
he  abode  still  in  Galilee. 

10  1[  But  when  his  brethren  were  gone  up, 
then  went  he  also  up  unto  the  feast,  not  openly, 
but  as  it  were  in  secret. 

11  Then  the  Jews  sought  him  at  the  feast, 
and  said.  Where  is  he  ? 

12  And  there  was  much  murmuring  among 
the  people  concerning  him :  for  some  said,  He 
is  a  good  man :  others  said,  Nay ;  but  he  de- 
ceiveth  the  people. 

324 


ST.  JOHN,  VII. 

13  Howbeit  no  man  spake  openly  of  him  for 
fear  of  the  Jews. 

14  t  'Now  about  the  midst  of  the  feast  Jesus 
went  up  into  the  temple,  and  taught. 

15  And  the  Jews  marvelled,  saying.  How 
knoweth  this  man  letters,  having  never  learned  ? 

16  Jesus  answered  them,  and  said,  My  doc- 
trine is  not  mine,  but  his  that  sent  me. 

17  If  any  man  will  do  his  will,  he  shall  know 
of  the  doctrine,  whether  it  be  of  Q-od,  or  whether 
I  speak  of  myself 

18  He  that  speaketh  of  himself  seeketh  his 
own  glory :  but  he  that  seeketh  his  glory  that 
sent  him,  the  same  is  true,  and  no  unrighteous- 
ness is  in  him. 

19  Did  not  Moses  give  you  the  law,  and  yet 
none  of  you  keepeth  the  law  ?  Why  go  ye 
about  to  kill  me  ? 

20  The  people  answered  and  said,  Thou  hast 
a  devil :    who  goeth  about  to  kill  thee  ? 

21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  I 
have  done  one  work,  and  ye  all  marvel. 

22  Moses  therefore  gave  unto  you  circumcis- 
ion ;  (not  because  it  is  of  Moses,  but  of  the  fa- 
thers ;)  and  ye  on  the  sabbath  day  circumcise  a 
man. 

23  If  a  man  on  the  sabbath  day  receive  cir- 
cumcision, that  the  law  of  Moses  should  not 
be  broken ;  are  ye  angry  at  me,  because  I  have 
made  a  man  every  whit  whole  on  the  sabbath  day? 

24  Judge  not  according  to  the  appearance,  but 
judge  righteous  judgment. 

325 


ST.  JOHN,  VII. 

25  Then  said  some  of  them  of  Jerusalem,  Is 
lot  this  he,  whom  they  seek  to  kill  ? 

26  But,  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly,  and  they  say 
Lothing  unto  him.  Do  the  rulers  know  indeed 
hat  this  is  the  very  Christ  ? 

27  Howbeit  we  know  this  man  whence  he  is :  but 
vhen  Christ  cometh,  no  man  knoweth  whence  he  is. 

28  Then  cried  Jesus  in  the  temple  as  he 
aught,  saying.  Ye  both  know  me,  and  ye  know 
vhence  I  am :  and  I  am  not  come  of  myself, 
)ut  he  that  sent  me  is  true,  whom  ye  know  not. 

29  But  I  know  him:  for  I  am  from  him, 
md  he  hath  sent  me. 

80   Then    they   sought    to    take    him :    but    no 
nan   laid   hands    on   him,  because   his  hour  was   , 
lot  yet  come. 

31  And  many  of  the  people  believed  on  him, 
md  said.  When  Christ  cometh,  will  he  do  more 
niracles  than  these  which  this  man  hath  done  ? 

32  T  The  Pharisees  heard  that  the  people  mur- 
iLured  such  things  concerning  him;  and  the 
Pharisees  and  the  chief  priests  sent  officers  to 
]ake  him. 

33  'Then  said  Jesus  unto  them.  Yet  a  little 
svhile  am  I  with  you,  and  then  I  go  unto  him 
iliat  sent  me. 

34  Ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not  find  me: 
md  where  I  am,  thither  ye  cannot  come. 

35  Then  said  the  Jews  among  themselves, 
Whither  will  he  go,  that  we  shall  not  find  him  ? 
^11  he  go  unto  the  dispersed  among  the  Gen- 
biles,  and  teach  the  Gentiles  ? 

326 


ST.  JOHN,  VII. 

36  What  manner  of  saying  is  this  that  he 
said,  Ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not  find  me: 
and  where  I  am,  thither  ye  cannot  come  ? 

37  In  the  last  day,  that  great  day  of  the 
feast,  Jesus  stood  and  cried,  saying.  If  any  man 
thu^st,  let  him  come  unto  me,  and  drink. 

38  He  that  belie veth  on  me,  as  the  Scripture 
hath  said,  out  of  his  belly  shall  flow  rivers  of 
living  water. 

39  (But  this  spake  he  of  the  Spirit,  which 
they  that  believe  on  him  should  receive :  for 
the  Holy  Ghost  was  not  yet  given  '^  because  that 
Jesus  was  not  yet  glorified.) 

40  T[  Many  of  the  people  therefore,  when  they 
heard  this  saying,  said.  Of  a  truth  this  is  the 
Prophet. 

41  Others  said.  This  is  the  Christ.  But  some 
said,  ShaU  Christ  come  out  of  Galilee  ? 

42  Hath  not  the  Scripture  said.  That  Christ 
cometh  of  the  seed  of  David,  and  out  of  the 
town  of  Bethlehem,  where  David  was  ? 

43  So  there  was  a  division  among  the  peo- 
ple because  of  him. 

44  And  some  of  them  would  have  taken  him ; 
but  no  man  laid  hands  on  him. 

45  Tf  Then  came  the  officers  to  the  chief  priests 
and  Pharisees ;  and  they  said  unto  them.  Why 
have  ye  not  brought  him  ? 

46  The  officers  answered,  IN'ever  man  spake 
like  this  man. 

47  Then  answered  them  the  Pharisees,  Are 
ye  also  deceived? 

C  327 


ST.  JOHN,  VIII. 

48  Have  any  of  the  rulers  or  of  the  Phari- 
sees believed  on  him  ? 

49  But  this  people  who  knoweth  not  the  law 
are  cursed. 

50  Mcodemus  saith  unto  them,  (he  that  came 
to  Jesus  by  night,  being  one  of  them,) 

51  Doth  om^  law  judge  ani/  man,  before  it 
hear  him,  and  know  what  he  doeth  ? 

52  They  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Art 
thou  also  of  Galilee  ?  Search,  and  look :  for 
out  of  Galilee  ariseth  no  prophet. 

53  And  every  man  went  unto  his  own  house. 

CHAPTER   VIII. 

1  Christ  delivereth  the  loomaii  taken  in  adultery.  12  He  preach- 
eth  himself  the  light  of  the  world,  and  justifieth  his  doctrine  : 
33  answereth  the  Jews  that  boasted  of  Abraham,  59  and  co7i- 
veyeth  himself  from  their  cruelty. 

TESTIS  went  unto  the  mount  of  Olives. 
^     2  And  early  in  the  morning  he  came  again 
into   the    temple,    and  all   the  people   came   unto 
him;  and  he  sat  down,  and  taught  them. 

3  And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees  brought  unto 
him  a  woman  taken  in  adultery ;  and  when 
they  had  set  her  in  the  midst, 

4  They  say  unto  him.  Master,  this  woman  was 
taken  in  adultery,  in  the  very  act. 

5  Now  Moses  in  the  law  commanded  us,  that 
such  should  be  stoned :   but  what  sayest  thou  ? 

6  This  they  said,  tempting  him,  that  they 
might  have  to  accuse  him.  But  Jesus  stooped 
down,  and  with  his  finger  wrote  on  the  ground, 
as  though  he  heard  them  not, 

328 


ST.  JOHIf,  YIII. 

7  So  when  they  continued  asking  him,  he 
lifted  up  himself,  and  said  unto  them,  He  that 
is  without  sin  among  you,  let  him  first  cast 
a  stone  at  her. 

8  And  again  he  stooped  down,  and  wrote  on 
the  ground. 

9  And  they  which  heard  it^  being  convicted 
by  their  own  conscience,  went  out  one  by  one, 
beginning  at  the  eldest,  even  unto  the  last :  and 
Jesus  was  left  alone,  and  the  woman  standing 
in  the  midst. 

10  When  Jesus  had  hfted  up  himself,  and  saw 
none  but  the  woman,  he  said  unto  her.  Wo- 
man, where  are  those  thine  accusers  ?  hath  no 
man  condemned  thee  ? 

11  She  said,  ITo  man.  Lord.  And  Jesus  said 
unto  her,  ]N"either  do  I  condemn  thee  :  go,  and 
sin  no  more. 

12  Tf  Then  spake  Jesus  again  unto  them,  say- 
ing, I  am  the  light  of  the  world :  he  that  fol- 
loweth  me  shall  not  walk  in  darkness,  but  shall 
have  the  hght  of  life. 

13  The  Pharisees  therefore  said  unto  him, 
Thou  bearest  record  of  thyself;  thy  record  is 
not  true. 

14  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  Though 
I  bear  record  of  myself,  yet  my  record  is  true : 
for  I  know  whence  I  came,  and  whither  I  go  ; 
but  ye  cannot  tell  whence  I  come,  and  whith- 
er I  go. 

15  Ye    judge    after    the    flesh;    I    judge    no 

man. 

329 


ST.  JOHN,  VIII. 

16  And  yet  if  I  judge,  my  judgment  is  true: 
for  I  am  not  alone,  but  I  and  the  Father  that 
sent  me. 

17  It  is  also  written  in  your  law,  that  the 
testimony  of  two  men  is  true. 

18  I  am  one  that  bear  witness  of  myself, 
and  the  Father  that  sent  me  beareth  witness 
of  me. 

19  Then  said  they  unto  him,  Where  is  thy 
Father  ?  Jesus  answered.  Ye  neither  know  me, 
nor  my  Father :  if  ye  had  known  me,  ye  should 
have  known  my  Father  also. 

20  These  words  spake  Jesus  in  the  treasury, 
as  he  taught  in  the  temple :  and  no  man  laid 
hands  on  him;    for  his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 

21  Then  said  Jesus  again  unto  them,  I  go 
my  way,  and  ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  die 
in  your  sins  :    whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come. 

22  Then  said  the  Jews,  Will  he  kill  himself? 
because  he  saith.  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot 
come. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  from  be- 
neath ;  I  am  from  above  :  )^e  are  of  this  world ; 
I  am  not  of  this  world. 

24  I  said  therefore  unto  you,  that  ye  shall 
die  in  your  sins :  for  if  ye  believe  not  that  I 
am  he^  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins. 

25  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Who  art  thou  ? 
And  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Even  the  same 
that  I  said  unto  you  from  the  beginning. 

26  I  have   many  things    to   say  and  to  judge 

of  you :    but   he   that    sent   me   is    true ;    and   I 
330 


ST.  JOHN,  YIII. 

speak   to   the   world   those  things  which  I  have 
heard  of  him. 

27  They  understood  not  that  he  spake  to 
them  of  the  Father. 

28  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  When  ye 
have  hfted  up  the  Son  of  man,  then  shall  ye 
know  that  I  am  lie^  and  that  I  do  nothing  of 
myself;  but  as  my  Father  hath  taught  me,  I 
speak  these  things. 

29  And  he  that  sent  me  is  with  me:  the 
Father  hath  not  left  me  alone;  for  I  do  al- 
ways those  things  that  please  him. 

30  As  he  spake  these  words,  many  believed 
on  him. 

31  Then  said  Jesus  to  those  Jews  which  be- 
heved  on  him.  If  ye  continue  in  my  word,  then 
are  ye  my  disciples  indeed; 

32  And  ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and  the 
truth  shall  make  you  free. 

33  t  They  answered  him,  We  be  Abraham's 
seed,  and  were  never  in  bondage  to  any  man: 
how  sayest  thou.  Ye  shall  be  made  free? 

34  Jesus  answered  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you.  Whosoever  committeth  sin  is  the  serv- 
ant of  sin. 

35  And  the  servant  abideth  not  in  the  house 
for   ever :  hut  the  Son  abideth  ever. 

36  If  the  Son  therefore  shall  make  you  free, 
ye  shall  be  free  indeed. 

37  I   know  that  ye  are  Abraham's   seed;   but 

ye   seek   to   kill  me,  because   my  word  hath   no 

place  in  you. 

331 


ST.  JOHN,  YIII. 

38  I  speak  that  which  I  have  seen  with  my 
Father :  and  ye  do  that  which  ye  have  seen 
.with  your  father. 

39  They  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Abra- 
ham is  our  father.  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  If 
ye  were  Abraham's  children,  ye  would  do  the 
works  of  Abraham. 

40  But  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a  man  that 
hath  told  you  the  truth,  which  I  have  heard 
of  Grod :  this  did  not  Abraham. 

41  Te  do  the  deeds  of  your  father.  Then 
said  they  to  him,  We  be  not  born  of  fornica- 
tion; we  have  one  Father,  even  Grod. 

42  Jesus  said  unto  them.  If  Grod  were  your 
Father,  ye  would  love  me :  for  I  proceeded 
forth  and  came  from  Grod;  neither  came  I  of 
myself,  but  he  sent  me. 

43  Why  do  ye  not  understand  my  speech  ? 
even  because  ye  cannot  hear  my  word. 

44  Ye  are  of  your  father  the  devil,  and  the 
lusts  of  your  father  ye  wiU  do :  he  was  a  mur- 
derer from  the  beginning,  and  abode  not  in  the 
truth,  because  there  is  no  truth  in  him.  When 
he  speaketh  a  lie,  he  speaketh  of  his  own :  for 
he  is  a  liar,  and  the  father  of  it. 

45  And  because  I  tell  you  the  truth,  ye  be- 
lieve me  not. 

46  Which  of  you  convinceth  me  of  sin?  And 
if  I  say  the  truth,  why  do   ye  not  believe  me  ? 

47  He  that  is  of  G-od  heareth  Grod's  words : 
ye  therefore  hear  them  not,  because  ye  are  not 
of  God. 

332 


ST.  JOHK  VIII. 


48    Then   answered   the    Jews,    and    said    unto 


him,   Say  we   not  well   that   thou    art   a    Samar- 
itan, and  hast  a  devil  ? 

49  Jesus  answered,  I  have  not  a  devil;  but 
I  honour  my  Father,  and  ye  do  dishonour  me. 

50  And  I  seek  not  mine  own  glory :  there 
is  one  that  seeketh  and  judgeth. 

51  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  If  a  man 
keep  my  saying,  he  shall  never  see  death. 

52  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him,  'Now  we 
know  that  thou  hast  a  devil.  Abraham  is  dead, 
and  the  prophets ;  and  thou  sayest,  If  a  man 
keep  my  saying,  he  shall  never  taste  of  death. 

53  Art  thou  greater  than  our  father  Abra- 
ham, which  is  dead?  and  the  prophets  are 
dead:    whom  makest  thou  thyself? 

54  Jesus  answered.  If  I  honour  myself,  my 
honour  is  nothing :  it  is  my  Father  that  honoureth 
me;    of  whom  ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God: 

55  Yet  ye  have  not  known  him;  but  I  know 
him:  and  if  I  should  say,  I  know  him  not,  I 
shall  be  a  liar  like  unto  you :  but  I  know  him, 
and  keep  his  saying. 

56  Your  father  Abraham  rejoiced  to  see  my 
day :    and  he  saw  it^  and  was  glad. 

57  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him.  Thou  art 
not  yet  fifty  years  old,  and  hast  thou  seen 
Abraham  ? 

58  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you.  Before  Abraham  was,  I  am. 

59  Then  took  they  up  stones  to  cast  at  him : 
but  Jesus  hid  himself,  and  went  out  of  the  tem-

pie,   going   through   the   midst   of  them,   and    so 
passed  by. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

1  The  man  that  was  horn  blind  restored  to  sight.  8  He  is  brought 
to  the  Pharisees.  1 3  They  are  offended  at  it,  and  exconwiunicate 
him  :  35  but  he  is  received  of  Jesus,  and  confesseth  hirn.  39 
Who  theij  are  whom  Christ  enlighteneth. 

AIN^D  as  Jesus  passed  by,  he  saw  a  man 
"^^^  which  was  bhad  from  his  birth. 

2  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying,  Mas- 
ter, who  did  sin,  this  man,  or  his  parents,  that 
he  was  born  bhnd  ? 

3  Jesns  answered,  N'either  hath  this  man  sin- 
ned, nor  his  parents :  but  that  the  works  of 
Grod  should  be  made  manifest  in  him. 

4  I  must  work  the  works  of  him  that  sent 
me,  while  it  is  day :  the  night  cometh,  when 
no  man  can  work. 

5  As  long  as  I  am  in  the  world,  I  am  the 
light  of  the  world. 

6  When  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  spat  on 
the  ground,  and  made  clay  of  the  spittle, 
and  he  anointed  the  eyes  of  the  blind  man  with 
the  clay, 

7  And  said  unto  him,  Gro,  wash  in  the  pool 
of  Siloam,  (which  is  by  interpretation,  Sent.)  He 
went  his  way  therefore,  and  washed,  and  came 
seeing. 

8  Tf  The  neighbours  therefore,  and  they  which 
before  had  seen  him  that  he  was  blind,  said, 
Is  not  this  he  that  sat  and  begged  ? 

9  Some  said.  This  is  he :  others  said^  He  is 
like  him  :    hut  he  said,  I  am  he. 

334 


ST.  JOHIf,  IX. 

10  Therefore  said  they  unto  him,  How  were 
thine  eyes  opened  ? 

11  He  answered  and  said,  A  man  that  is 
called  Jesus  made  clay,  and  anointed  mine  eyes, 
and  said  unto  me,  Go  to  the  pool  of  Siloam, 
and  wash :  and  I  went  and  washed,  and  I  re- 
ceived sight. 

13  Then  said  they  unto  him,  Where  is  he? 
He  said,    I  know  not. 

13  T[  They  brought  to  the  Pharisees  him  that 
aforetime  was  blind. 

14  And  it  was  the  sabbath  day  when  Jesus 
made  the  clay,  and  opened  his  eyes. 

15  Then  again  the  Pharisees  also  asked  him 
how  he  had  received  his  sight.  He  said  unto 
them.  He  put  clay  upon  mine  eyes,  and  I  wash- 
ed, and  do  see. 

16  Therefore  said  some  of  the  Pharisees,  This 
man  is  not  of  God,  because  he  keepeth  not  the 
sabbath  day.  Others  said.  How  can  a  man  that 
is  a  sinner  do  such  miracles  ?  And  there  was 
a  division  among  them. 

17  They  say  unto  the  blind  man  again.  What 
sayest  thou  of  him,  that  he  hath  opened  thine 
eyes  ?     He  said.  He  is  a  prophet. 

18  But  the  Jews  did  not  believe  concerning 
him,  that  he  had  been  blind,  and  received  his 
sight,  until  they  called  the  parents  of  him  that 
had  received  his  sight. 

19  And  they  asked   them,  saying,  Is  this  your 

son,   who    ye    say   was    born    blind  ?    how   then 

doth  he  now  see  ? 

335 


ST.  JOHI^^  IX. 

20  His  parents  answered  them  and  said.  We 
know  that  this  is  our  son,  and  that  he  was  born 
blind : 

21  But  by  what  means  he  now  seeth,  we 
know  not ;  or  who  hath  opened  his  eyes,  we 
know  not :  he  is  of  age ;  ask  him :  he  shall 
speak  for  himself 

22  These  words  spake  his  parents,  because 
they  feared  the  Jews :  for  the  Jews  had  agreed 
already,  that  if  any  man  did  confess  that  he 
was  Christ,  he  should  be  put  out  of  the  syna- 
gogue. 

23  Therefore  said  his  parents.  He  is  of  age ; 
ask  him. 

24  Then  again  called  they  the  man  that  was 
blind,  and  said  unto  him.  Give  God  the  praise  : 
we  know  that  this  man  is  a  sinner. 

25  He  answered  and  said.  Whether  he  be  a 
sinner  or  no^  I  know  not :  one  thing  I  know, 
that,  whereas  I  was  blind,  now  I  see. 

26  Then  said  they  to  him  again.  What  did 
he  to  thee  ?   how  opened  he  thine  eyes  ? 

27  He  answered  them,  I  have  told  you  al- 
ready, and  ye  did  not  hear :  wherefore  would 
ye  hear  it  again  ?    will  ye  also  be  his  disciples  ? 

28  Then  they  reviled  him,  and  said.  Thou  art 
his  disciple ;   but  we  are  Moses'  disciples. 

29  We  know  that  God  spake  unto  Moses : 
as  for  this  fellow^  we  know  not  from  whence 
he  is. 

30  The  man  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Why  herein  is  a  marvellous  thing,  that  ye  know 

336 


ST.  JOHN,  IX. 

not   from  whence   he   is,  and  yet  he  hath  open- 
ed mine  eyes. 

31  IN'ow  we  know  that  Grod  heareth  not  sin- 
ners :  but  if  any  man  be  a  worshipper  of  Grod, 
and  doeth  his  mil,  him  he  heareth. 

32  Since  the  world  began  was  it  not  heard 
that  any  man  opened  the  eyes  of  one  that  was 
born  blind. 

33  If  this  man  were  not  of  God,  he  could 
do  nothing. 

34  They  answered  and  said  unto  him.  Thou 
wast  altogether  born  in  sins,  and  dost  thou  teach 
us  ?     And  they  cast  him  out. 

35  Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast  him  out ; 
and  when  he  had  found  him,  he  said  unto  him, 
Dost  thou  believe  on  the  Son  of  Grod  ? 

36  He  answered  and  said.  Who  is  he,  Lord, 
that  I  might  believe  on  him? 

37  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thou  hast  both 
seen  him,  and  it  is  he  that  talketh  with  thee. 

38  And  he  said.  Lord,  I  believe.  And  he 
worshipped  him. 

39  If  And  Jesus  said.  For  judgment  I  am 
come  into  this  world,  that  they  which  see  not 
might  see ;  and  that  they  which  see  might  be 
made  bhnd. 

40  And  soirw  of  the  Pharisees  which  were 
with  him  heard  these  words,  and  said  unto  him, 
Are  we  blind  also  ?  • 

41  Jesus  said  unto  them,  If  ye  were  blind, 
ye  should  have  no  sin :  but  now  ye  say,  We 
see ;  therefore  your  sin  remaineth. 

22  337 


ST.  JOHN,  X 
CHAPTER  X. 

1  Christ  is  the  door,  and  the  good  shepherd.  19  Divers  cypinions 
of  him,  24  He  proveth  by  his  works  that  he  is  Christ  the  Son 
of  God :  39  escapeth  the  Jews,  40  and  loent  again  beyond  Jor- 
dan,  where  many  betieved  on  him. 

T7"ERILY,   verily,   I    say   unto    you,   He   that 
^     entereth   not   by   the    door   into   the    sheep- 
fold,  but  climbeth  up  some  other  way,  the  same 
is  a  thief  and  a  robber. 

2  But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door  is  the 
shepherd  of  the  sheep. 

3  To  him  the  porter  openeth ;  and  the  sheep 
hear  his  voice :  and  he  calleth  his  own  sheep 
by  name,  and  leadeth  them  out. 

4  And  when  he  putteth  forth  his  own  sheep, 
he  goeth  before  them,  and  the  sheep  follow 
him :  for  they  know  his  voice. 

5  And  a  stranger  will  they  not  follow,  but 
will  flee  from  him ;  for  they  know  not  the 
voice  of  strangers. 

6  This  parable  spake  Jesus  unto  them;  but 
they  understood  not  what  things  they  were 
which  he  spake  unto  them. 

7  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  again.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  am  the  door  of  the 
sheep. 

8  All  that  ever  came  before  me  are  thieves 
and  robbers :  but  the  sheep  did  not  hear  them. 

9  I  am  the  door :  by  me  if  any  man  enter 
in,  he  shall  be  saved,  and  shall  go  in  and  out, 
and  find  pasture. 

10  The  thief  cometh  not,  but  for  to  steal,  and 

338 


ST.  JOHN,  X. 

to  kill,  and  to  destroy:  I  am  come  that  they 
might  have  hfe,  and  that  they  might  have  it 
more  abundantly. 

11  I  am  the  good  shepherd:  the  good  shep- 
herd giveth  his  life  for  the  sheep. 

12  But  he  that  is  a  hirehng,  and  not  the 
shepherd,  whose  own  the  sheep  are  not,  seeth 
the  wolf  coming,  and  leaveth  the  sheep,  and 
fleeth;  and  the  wolf  catcheth  them,  and  scatter- 
eth  the  sheep. 

13  The  hireling  fleeth,  because  he  is  a  hire- 
ling, and  careth  not  for  the  sheep. 

14  I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and  know  my 
sheep^  and  am  known  of  mine. 

15  As  the  Father  knoweth  me,  even  so  know 
I  the  Father:  and  I  lay  down  my  life  for  the 
sheep. 

16  And  other  sheep  I  have,  which  are  not 
of  this  fold :  them  also  I  must  bring,  and  they 
shall  hear  my  voice;  and  there  shall  be  one 
fold,  and  one  shepherd. 

17  Therefore  doth  my  Father  love  me,  be- 
cause I  lay  down  my  life,  that  I  might  take  it 
again. 

18  Wo  man  taketh  it  from  me,  but  I  lay  it 
down  of  myself  I  have  power  to  lay  it  down, 
and  I  have  power  to  take  it  again.  This  com- 
mandm.ent  have  I  received  of  my  Father. 

19  1  There  was  a  division  therefore  again  among 
the  Jews  for  these  sayings. 

20  And  many  of  them  said,  He  hath  a  devil, 

and  is  mad;  why  hear  ye  him? 

339 


ST.  JOHN,  X. 

21  Others  said,  These  are  not  the  words  of 
him  that  hath  a  devil.  Can  a  devil  open  the 
eyes  of  the  blind  ? 

22  ^  And  it  was  at  Jernsalem  the  feast  of  the 
dedication,  and  it  was  winter. 

23  And  Jesus  walked  in  the  temple  in  Sol- 
omon's porch. 

24  Then  came  the  Jews  round  about  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  How  long  dost  thou  make 
us  to  doubt  ?  If  thou  be  the  Christ,  tell  us 
plainly. 

25  Jesus  answered  them,  I  told  you,  and  ye 
believed  not :  the  works  that  I  do  in  my  Fa- 
ther's  name,   they   bear   witness  of  me. 

26  But  ye  beheve  not,  because  ye  are  not 
of  my  sheep,  as  I  said  unto  you. 

27  My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I  know 
them,  and  they  follow  me: 

28  And  I  give  unto  them  eternal  life;  and 
they  shall  never  perish,  neither  shall  any  mari 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand. 

29  My  Father,  which  gave  them  me,  is  greater 
than  all;  and  no  man  is  able  to  pluck  them 
out  of  my  Father's  hand. 

30  I  and  my  Father  are  one. 

31  Then  the  Jews  took  up  stones  again  to 
stone  him. 

32  Jesus  answered  them.  Many  good  works 
have  I  shewed  you  from  my  Father;  for  which 
of  those  works  do  ye  stone  me  ? 

33  The  Jews  answered  him,  saying,  For  a 
good  work  we  stone  thee  not;  but  for  blasphemy; 

340 


ST.  JOHN,  XI. 

and    because    that    thou,    being    a    man,    makest 
thyself  God. 

34  Jesus  answered  them,  Is  it  not  written  in 
your  law,  I  said,  Ye  are  gods? 

35  If  he  called  them  gods,  unto  whom  the 
word  of  God  came,  and  the  Scripture  cannot  be 
broken ; 

36  Say  ye  of  him,  whom  the  Father  hath  sanc- 
tified, and  sent  into  the  world.  Thou  blas- 
phemest ;  because  I  said,  I  am  the  Son  of  God  ? 

37  If  I  do  not  the  works  of  my  Father,  believe 
me  not. 

38  But  if  I  do,  though  ye  believe  not  me, 
believe  the  works;  that  ye  may  know,  and 
believe,  that  the  Father  is  in  me,  and  I  in  him. 

39  Therefore  they  sought  again  to  take  him; 
but  he  escaped  out  of  their  hand, 

40  And  went  away  again  beyond  Jordan  into 
the  place  where  John  at  first  baptized;  and  there 
he  abode. 

41  And  many  resorted  unto  him,  and  said, 
John  did  no  miracle :  but  all  things  that  John 
spake  of  this  man  were  true. 

42  And  many  believed  on  him  there. 

CHAPTER  XL 

1  Christ  raiseth  Lazarus,  four  daijs  buried.  45  Many  Jews  believe. 
47  The  high  priests  and  Pharisees  gather  a  council  against 
Christ.  ^Q  Caiaphas  prophesieth.  ^4=  Jesus  hid  himself .  55  At 
the  passover  they  inquire  after  him,  and  lay  wait  for  him. 

IVTOW  a  certain  ma7i  was  sick,  named  Lazarus, 

^^   of  Bethany,  the  town  of  Mary  and  her  sister 

Martha. 

341 


ST.  JOHN,  XI. 

2  (It  was  that  Mary  which  anointed  the  Lord 
with  ointment,  and  wiped  his  feet  with  her 
hair,  whose  brother  Lazarus  was  sick.) 

3  Therefore  his  sisters  sent  unto  him,  saying,' 
Lord,  behold,  he  whom  thou  lovest  is  sick. 

4  When  Jesus  heard  that^  he  said.  This  sick- 
ness is  not  unto  death,  but  for  the  glory  of  God, 
that  the  Son  of  Grod  might  be  glorified  thereby. 

5  IN'ow  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and  her  sister, 
and  Lazarus. 

6  When  he  had  heard  therefore  that  he  was 
sick,  he  abode  two  days  still  in  the  same  place 
where  he  was. 

7  Then  after  that  saith  he  to  Ms  disciples.  Let 
us  go  into  Judea  again. 

8  His  disciples  say  unto  him.  Master,  the  Jews 
of  late  sought  to  stone  thee;  and  goest  thou 
thither  again  ? 

9  Jesus  answered.  Are  there  not  twelve  hours 
in  the  day?  If  any  man  walk  in  the  day,  he 
stumbleth  not,  because  he  seeth  the  light  of  this 
world. 

10  But  if  a  man  walk  in  the  night,  he  stum- 
bleth, because  there  is  no  light  in  him. 

11  These  things  said  he:  and  after  that  he 
saith  unto  them.  Our  friend  Lazarus  sleepeth; 
but  I  go,  that  I  may  awake  him  out  of  sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  disciples.  Lord,  if  he  sleep, 
he  shall  do  well. 

13  Howbeit  Jesus  spake  of  his  death:  but  they 
thought  that  he  had  spoken  of  taking  of  rest  in 
sleep. 

342 


ST.  JOHK  XI. 


14  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  plainly,  Lazarus 
is  dead. 

15  And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes  that  I  was 
not  there,  to  the  intent  ye  may  believe;  never- 
theless let  us  go  unto  him. 

16  Then  said  Thomas,  which  is  called  Didy- 
mus,  unto  his  fellow  disciples,  Let  us  also  go, 
that  we  may  die  with  him. 

lY  Then  when  Jesus  came,  he  found  that  he 
had  lain  in  the  grave  four  days  already. 

18  TsTow  Bethany  was  nigh  unto  Jerusalem, 
about  fifteen  furlongs  off: 

19  And  many  of  the  Jews  came  to  Martha 
and  Mary,  to  comfort  them  concerning  their 
brother. 

20  Then  Martha,  as  soon  as  she  heard  that 
Jesus  was  coming,  went  and  met  him :  but 
Mary  sat  still  in  the  house. 

21  Then  said  Martha  unto  Jesus,  Lord,  if  thou 
hadst  been  here,  my  brother  had  not  died. 

22  But  I  know,  that  even  now,  whatsoever 
thou  wilt  ask  of  Grod,  Grod  will  give  it  thee. 

23  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Thy  brother  shall 
rise  again. 

24  Martha  saith  unto  him,  I  know  that  he 
shall  rise  again  in  the  resurrection  at  the  last 
day. 

25  Jesus  said  unto  her,  I  am  the  resurrec- 
tion, and  the  life :  he  that  believeth  in  me, 
though  he  were  dead,  yet  shall  he  live  : 

26  And  whosoever  livetli  and  believeth  in  me 

shall  never  die.     Believest  thou  this? 

D  343 


ST.  JOHN,  XL 

27  She  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord:  I  beheve 
that  thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  which 
should  come  into  the  world. 

28  And  when  she  had  so  said,  she  went  her 
way,  and  called  Mary  her  sister  secretly,  say- 
ing, The  Master  is  come,  and  calleth  for  thee. 

29  As  soon  as  she  heard  tliat^  she  arose  quick- 
ly, and  came  unto  him. 

30  ]N"ow  Jesus  was  not  yet  come  into  the 
town,  but  was  in  that  place  where  Martha  met 
him. 

31  The  Jews  then  which  were  with  her  in 
the  house,  and  comforted  her,  when  they  saw 
Mary,  that  she  rose  up  hastily  and  went  out, 
followed  her,  sajdng.  She  goeth  unto  the  grave 
to  weep  there. 

32  Then  when  Mary  was  come  where  Jesus 
was,  and  saw  him,  she  fell  down  at  his  feet, 
saying  unto  him,  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here, 
my  brother  had  not  died. 

33  When  Jesus  therefore  saw  her  weeping, 
and  the  Jews  also  weeping  which  came  with 
her,  he  groaned  in  the  spirit,  and  was  troubled, 

34  And  said,  Where  have  ye  laid  him  ?  They 
say  unto  him.  Lord,  come  and  see. 

35  Jesus  wept. 

36  Then  said  the  Jews,  Behold  how  he  loved 
him  ! 

37  And  some  of  them  said.  Could  not  this 
man,  which  opened  the  eyes  of  the  blind,  have 
caused  that  even  this  man  should  not  have  died  ? 

38  Jesus   therefore    again  groaning  in  himself 

344 


ST.  JOHN,  XI. 

cometli   to   the    grave.      It   was    a    cave,    and    a 
stone  lay  upon  it. 

39  Jesus  said,  Take  ye  away  the  stone.  Mar- 
tha, the  sister  of  him  that  was  dead,  saith  unto 
him,  Lord,  by  this  time  he  stinketh  :  for  he  hath 
been  dead  four  days. 

40  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Said  I  not  unto  thee, 
that,  if  thou  wouldest  beheve,  thou  shouldest 
see  the  glory  of  Q-od  ? 

41  Then  they  took  away  the  stone  from  the 
place  where  the  dead  was  laid.  And  Jesus 
lifted  up  Ms  eyes,  and  said.  Father,  I  thank 
thee  that  thou  hast  heard  me. 

42  And  I  knew  that  thou  hearest  me  al- 
ways :  but  because  of  the  people  which  stand 
by  I  said  it^  that  they  may  believe  that  thou 
hast  sent  me. 

43  And  when  he  thus  had  spoken,  he  cried 
with  a  loud  voice,  Lazarus,  come  forth. 

44  And  he  that  was  dead  came  forth,  bound 
hand  and  foot  with  graveclothes ;  and  his  face 
was  bound  about  with  a  napkin.  Jesus  saith 
unto  them.  Loose  him,  and  let  him  go. 

45  Then  many  of  the  Jews  which  came 
to  Mary,  and  had  seen  the  things  which  Jesus 
did,  believed  on  him. 

46  But  some  of  them  went  their  ways  to  the 
Pharisees,  and  told  them  what  things  Jesus  had 
done. 

47  \  Then  gathered  the  chief  priests  and  the 
Pharisees  a  council,  and  said.  What  do  we  ? 
for  this  man  doeth  many  miracles. 

345 


ST.  JOHI^,  XI. 

48  If  we  let  him  thus  alone^  all  men  will 
believe  on  him ;  and  the  Romans  shall  come 
and  take  away  both  our  place  and  nation. 

49  And  one  of  them,  named  Caiaphas,  being 
the  high  priest  that  same  year,  said  unto  them, 
Te  know  nothing  at  all, 

50  Nor  consider  that  it  is  expedient  for  us, 
that  one  man  should  die  for  the  people,  and 
that  the  whole  nation  perish  not. 

51  And  this  spake  he  not  of  himself:  but 
being  high  priest  that  year,  he  prophesied  that 
Jesus  should  die  for  that  nation  ; 

52  And  not  for  that  nation  only,  but  that 
also  he  should  gather  together  in  one  the  chil- 
dren of  God  that  were  scattered  abroad. 

53  Then  from  that  day  forth  they  took  coun- 
sel together  for  to  put  him  to  death. 

54  Jesus  therefore  walked  no  more  openly 
among  the  Jews ;  but  went  thence  unto  a 
country  near  to  the  wilderness,  into  a  city 
called  Ephraim,  and  there  continued  with  his 
disciples. 

55  *1|  And  the  Jews'  passover  was  nigh  at  hand: 
and  many  went  out  of  the  country  up  to  Je- 
rusalem before  the  passover,  to  purify  them- 
selves. 

56  Then  sought  they  for  Jesus,  and  spake 
among  themselves,  as  they  stood  in  the  tem- 
ple. What  think  ye,  that  he  will  not  come  to 
the  feast  ? 

57  Now  both  the  chief  priests  and  the  Phar- 
isees   had    given    a    commandment,    that,   if  any 

346 


ST.  JOHN,  XII. 

man   knew   where   he   were,   he    should    shew  it^ 
that  they  might  take  him. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

1  Jesus  excuseth  Marij  anointings  his  feet.  9  The  people  flock  to 
see  Lazarus.  10  The  high  priests  consult  to  kill  him.  12 
Christ  rideth  into  Jerusalem.  20  Greeks  desire  to  see  Jesus. 
23  He  foretelleth  his  death.  37  The  Jews  are  generally  blinded: 
42  yet  many  chief  rulers  believe^  hut  do  not  confess  him :  44 
therefore  Jesus  calleth  earnestly  for  coifession  of  faith. 

nnHE]^   Jesus    six    days    before    the    passover 
-*-    came  to  Bethany,  where  Lazarus  was  which 
had  been  dead,  whom  he  raised  from  the  dead. 

2  There  they  made  him  a  supper;  and  Mar- 
tha served :  but  Lazarus  was  one  of  them  that 
sat  at  the  table  with  him. 

3  Then  took  Mary  a  pound  of  ointment  of 
spikenard,  very  costly,  and  anointed  the  feet 
of  Jesus,  and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair : 
and  the  house  was  filled  with  the  odour  of  the 
ointment. 

4  Then  saith  one  of  his  disciples,  Judas  Ts- 
cariot,  Simon's  son.^  which  should  betray  him, 

5  Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold  for  three 
hundred  pence,  and  given  to  the  poor  % 

6  This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared  for  the 
poor ;  but  because  he  was  a  thief,  and  had  the 
bag,  and  bare  what  was  put  therein. 

7  Then  said  Jesus,  Let  her  alone :  against 
the  day  of  my  burying  hath  she  kept  this. 

8  For  the  poor  always  ye  have  with  you; 
but  me  ye  have  not  always. 

9  Much  people  of  the  Jews  therefore  knew 
that  he   was  there :    and  they  came  not  for   Je- 

347 


ST.  JOHN,  XII. 

sus'    sake    only,   but   that   they  might    see   Laza 
riis  alsOj  whom  he  had  raised  from  the  dead. 

10  T  But  the  chief  priests  consulted  that  they 
might  put  Lazarus  also  to  death; 

11  Because  that  by  reason  of  him  many  of 
the  Jews  went  away,  and  believed  on  Jesus. 

12  Tf  On  the  next  day  much  people  that  were 
come  to  the  feast,  when  they  heard  that  Jesus 
was  coming  to  Jerusalem, 

13  Took  branches  of  palm  trees,  and  went 
forth  to  meet  him,  and  cried,  Hosanna:  Bless- 
ed is  the  King  of  Israel  that  cometh  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord. 

14  And  Jesus,  when  he  had  found  a  young 
ass,  sat  thereon ;  as  it  is  written, 

15  Fear  not,  daughter  of  Sion :  behold,  thy 
King  cometh,  sitting  on  an  ass's  colt. 

16  These  things  understood  not  his  disciples 
at  the  first:  but  when  Jesus  was  glorified,  then 
remembered  they  that  these  things  were  writ- 
ten of  him,  and  that  they  had  done  these 
things  unto  him. 

17  The  people  therefore  that  was  with  him 
when  he  called  Lazarus  out  of  his  grave,  and 
raised  him  from  the  dead,  bare  record. 

18  For  this  cause  the  people  also  met  him,  for 
that  they  heard  that  he  had  done  this  miracle. 

19  The  Pharisees  therefore  said  among  them- 
selves, Perceive  ye  how  ye  prevail  nothing? 
behold,  the  world  is  gone  after  him. 

20  1  And  there  were  certain  Oreeks  among 
them  that  came  up  to  worship  at  the  feast: 

348 


ST.  JOHT^,  XII. 

21  The  same  came  therefore  to  Phihp,  which 
Was  of  Bethsaida  of  Grahlee,  and  desh^ed  him, 
saying,  Sir,  we  would  see  Jesus. 

22  PhiHp  Cometh  and  telleth  Andrew:  and 
again  Andrew  and  Philip  tell  Jesus. 

23  T[  And  Jesus  answered  them,  saying.  The 
hour  is  come,  that  the  Son  of  man  should  be 
glorified. 

24  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Except  a 
corn  of  wheat  fall  into  the  ground  and  die,  it 
abideth  alone :  but  if  it  die,  it  bringeth  forth 
much  fruit. 

25  He  that  loveth  his  life  shall  lose  it ;  and 
he  that  hateth  his  life  in  this  world  shall  keep 
it  unto  life  eternal. 

26  If  any  man  serve  me,  let  him  follow  me ; 
and  where  I  am,  there  shall  also  my  servant 
be :  if  any  man  serve  me,  him  will  my  Father 
honour. 

27  IN'ow  is  my  soul  troubled;  and  what  shall 
I  say  ?  Father,  save  me  from  this  hour :  but 
for  this  cause  came  I  unto  this  hour. 

28  Father,  glorify  thy  name.  Then  came 
there  a  voice  from  heaven,  saying^  I  have  both 
glorified  it^  and  will  glorify  it  again. 

29  The  people  therefore  that  stood  by,  and 
heard  ^^,  said  that  it  thundered :  others  said, 
An  angel  spake  to  him. 

30  Jesus  answered  and  said.  This  voice  came 
not  because  of  me,  but  for  your  sakes. 

31  ]N'ow  is  the  judgment  of  this  world:  now 
shall  the  prince  of  this  world  be  cast  out. 

349 


ST.  JOHI^,  XII. 

32  And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth, 
will  draw  all  men  unto  me. 

33  This  he  said,  signifying  what  death  he 
should  die. 

34  The  people  answered  him,  We  have  heard 
out  of  the  law  that  Christ  abideth  for  ever :  and 
how  sayest  thou,  The  Son  of  man  must  be 
lifted  up  ?    who  is  this  Son  of  man  ? 

35  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Yet  a  little 
while  is  the  light  with  you.  Walk  while  ye 
have  the  light,  lest  darkness  come  upon  you : 
for  he  that  walketh  in  darkness  knoweth  not 
whither  he  goeth. 

36  While  ye  have  light,  beheve  in  the  light, 
that  ye  may  be  the  children  of  light.  These 
things  spake  Jesus,  and  departed,  and  did  hide 
himself  from  them. 

37  1[  But  though  he  had  done  so  many  mir- 
acles before  them,  yet  they  believed  not  on  him: 

38  That  the  saying  of  Esaias  the  prophet 
might  be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake.  Lord,  who 
hath  believed  our  report  ?  and  to  whom  hath 
the  arm  of  the  Lord  been  revealed  % 

39  Therefore  they  could  not  believe,  because 
that  Esaias  said  again, 

40  He  hath  blinded  their  eyes,  and  harden- 
ed their  heart ;  that  they  should  not  see  with 
their  eyes,  nor  understand  with  their  heart,  and 
be  converted,  and  I  should  heal  them. 

41  These  things  said  Esaias,  when  he  saw 
his  glory,  and  spake  of  him. 

42  T  ^Nevertheless  among  the  chief  rulers  also 

350 


ST.  JOH:t^,  XIII. 

many  believed  on  him ;  but  because  of  the 
Pharisees  they  did  not  confess  liim^  lest  they 
should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue  : 

43  For  they  loved  the  praise  of  men  more 
than  the  praise  of  God. 

44  \  Jesus  cried  and  said,  He  that  believeth 
on  me,  believeth  not  on  me,  but  on  him  that 
sent  me. 

45  And  he  that  seeth  me  seeth  him  that 
sent  me. 

46  I  am  come  a  light  into  the  world,  that 
whosoever  believeth  on  me  should  not  abide  in 
darkness. 

47  And  if  any  man  hear  my  words,  and  be- 
lieve not,  I  judge  him  not :  for  I  came  not  to 
judge  the  world,  but  to  save  the  world. 

48  He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  receiveth  not 
my  words,  hath  one  that  judgeth  him :  the  word 
that  I  have  spoken,  the  same  shall  judge  him 
in  the  last  day. 

49  For  I  have  not  spoken  of  myself;  but  the 
Father  which  sent  me,  he  gave  me  a  com- 
mandment^ what  I  should  say^  and  what  I 
should  speak. 

50  And  I  know  that  his  commandment  is 
life  everlasting:  whatsoever  I  speak  therefore, 
even  as  the  Father  said  unto  me,  so  I  speak. 

CHAPTER  XIII. 

1  Jesus  washeth  the  disciples^  feet:  exhorteth  them  to  humility 
and  charity.  18  He  foretelleth,  and  discover eth  to  John  hy  a 
token^  that  Judas  should  betray  him:  31  commandeth  them  to 
lace  one  another,  36  and  forewarneth  Peter  of  his  denial. 

E  351 


ST.  JOHN,  XIII. 

IVrOW  before  the  feast  of  the  passover,  when 
^^  Jesus  knew  that  his  hour  was  come  that 
he  should  depart  out  of  this  world  unto  the 
Father,  having  loved  his  own  which  were  in 
the  world,  he  loved  them  unto  the  end. 

2  And  supper  being  ended,  the  devil  having 
now  put  into  the  heart  of  Judas  Iscariot,  Si- 
mon's son^  to  betray  him ; 

3  Jesus  knowing  that  the  Father  had  given 
all  things  into  his  hands,  and  that  he  was  come 
from  God,  and  went  to  God ; 

4  He  riseth  from  supper,  and  laid  aside  his 
garments ;  and  took  a  towel,  and  girded  him- 
self. 

5  After  that  he  poureth  water  into  a  basin, 
and  began  to  wash  the  disciples'  feet,  and  to 
wipe  them  with  the  towel  wherewith  he  was 
girded. 

6  Then  cometh  he  to  Simon  Peter :  and  Pe- 
ter saith  unto  him.  Lord,  dost  thou  wash  my 
feet? 

7  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him.  What 
I  do  thou  knowest  not  now ;  but  thou  shalt 
know  hereafter. 

8  Peter  saith  unto  him.  Thou  shalt  never  wash 
my  feet.  Jesus  answered  him.  If  I  wash  thee 
not,  thou  hast  no  part  with  me. 

9  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  not  my 
feet  only,  but  also  my  hands  and  my  head. 

10  Jesus  saith  to  him,  He  that  is  washed 
needeth  not  save  to  wash  his  feet,  but  is  clean 
every  whit :   and  ye  are  clean,  but  not  all. 

352 


ST.  JOHN,  XIII. 

11  For  he  knew  who  should  betray  him ; 
therefore  said  he,  Ye  are  not  all  clean. 

12  So  after  he  had  washed  then*  feet,  and 
had  taken  his  garments,  and  was  set  down 
again,  he  said  unto  them.  Know  ye  what  I 
have  done  to  you  ? 

13  Ye  call  me  Master  and  Lord:  and  ye  say 
well;  for  so  I  am. 

14  If  I  then,  your  Lord  and  Master,  have 
washed  your  feet ;  ye  also  ought  to  wash  one 
another's  feet. 

15  For  I  have  given  you  an  example,  that 
ye  should  do  as  I  have  done  to  you. 

16  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  The  serv- 
ant is  not  greater  than  his  lord ;  neither  he 
that  is  sent  greater  than  he  that  sent  him. 

17  If  ye  know  these  things,  happy  are  ye  if 
ye  do  them. 

18  T  I  speak  not  of  you  all:  I  know  whom  I 
have  chosen :  but  that  the  Scripture  may  be 
fulfilled.  He  that  eateth  bread  with  me  hath 
lifted  up  his  heel  against  me. 

19  Now  I  tell  you  before  it  come,  that,  when 
it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  may  believe  that  I  am  he. 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that 
receiveth  whomsoever  I  send  receiveth  me ; 
and  he  that  receiveth  me  receiveth  him  that 
sent  me. 

21  When  Jesus  had  thus  said^  he  was 
troubled  in  spirit,  and  testified,  and  said.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that  one  of  you  shall 
betray  me. 

23  353 


ST.  JOHN,  XIII. 

22  Then  the  disciples  looked  one  on  another, 
doubting  of  whom  he  spake. 

23  ]N"ow  there  was  leaning  on  Jesus'  bosom 
one  of  his  disciples,  whom  Jesus  loved. 

24  Simon  Peter  therefore  beckoned  to  him, 
that  he  should  ask  who  it  should  be  of  whom 
he  spake. 

25  He  then  lying  on  Jesus'  breast  saith  unto 
him.  Lord,  who  is  it  ? 

26  Jesus  answered,  He  it  is,  to  whom  I  shall 
give  a  sop,  when  I  have  dipped  it  And  when 
he  had  dipped  the  sop,  he  gave  it  to  Judas 
Iscariot,  the  S07i  of  Simon. 

27  And  after  the  sop  Satan  entered  into  him. 
Then  said  Jesus  unto  him.  That  thou  doest,  do 
quickly. 

28  ^Tow  no  man  at  the  table  knew  for  what 
intent  he  spake  this  unto  him. 

29  For  some  of  them  thought,  because  Judas 
had  the  bag,  that  Jesus  had  said  unto  him, 
Buy  those  things  that  we  have  need  of  against 
the  feast ;  or,  that  he  should  give  something  to 
the  poor. 

80  He  then,  having  received  the  sop,  went 
immediately  out ;    and  it  was  night. 

31  ^  Therefore,  when  he  was  gone  out,  Jesus 
said,  IN'ow  is  the  Son  of  man  glorified,  and  Grod 
is  glorified  in  him. 

32  If  God  be  glorified  in  him,  God  shall  also 
glorify  him  in  himself,  and  shall  straightway 
glorify  him. 

33  Little    children,   yet    a    little    while    I    am 

354 


ST.  JOHN,  XIV. 

with  you.  Ye  shall  seek  me ;  and  as  I  said 
unto  the  Jews,  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come ; 
so  now  I  say  to  you. 

34  A  new  commandment  I  give  unto  you, 
That  ye  love  one  another ;  as  I  have  loved 
you,  that  ye  also  love  one  another. 

35  By  this  shall  all  men  know  that  ye  are 
my  disciples,  if  ye  have  love  one  to  another. 

36  T  Simon  Peter  said  unto  him.  Lord,  whither 
goest  thou  ?  Jesus  answered  him.  Whither  I 
go,  thou  canst  not  follow  me  now ;  but  thou 
shalt  follow  me  afterwards. 

37  Peter  said  unto  him.  Lord,  why  cannot  I 
follow  thee  now  %  I  will  lay  down  my  life  for 
thy  sake. 

38  Jesus  answered  him.  Wilt  thou  lay  down 
thy  life  for  my  sake  ?  Yerily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  thee.  The  cock  shall  not  crow,  till  thou 
hast  denied  me  thrice. 

CHAPTER  XIV. 

1  Christ  comforteth  his  disciples  with  the  hope  of  heaven :    6  pro- 

fesseth  himself  the  way,  the  truth,  and  the  life,  and  one  with  the 

Father :   13  assureth  their  prayers  in  his  name  to  he  effectual: 

15  requesteth  love  and  obedience,  16  promiseth  the  Holy  Ghost 

the  Comforter,  27  and  leaveth  his  peace  with  them. 

T  E  T  not  your  heart  be  troubled :  ye  believe 
-*^  in  God,  believe  also  in  me. 

2  In  my  Father's  house  are  many  mansions : 
if  it  loere  not  50,  I  would  have  told  you.  I 
go  to  prepare  a  place  for  you. 

3  And  if  I  go  and  prepare  a  place  for  you, 
I  will  come  again,  and  receive  you  unto  myself; 

that  where  I  am,  there  ye  may  be  also. 

355 


ST.  JOHIsT,  XIV. 

4  And  whither  I  go  ye  know,  and  the  way 
ye  know. 

5  Thomas  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  we  know  not 
whither  thou  goest ;  and  how  can  we  know  the 
way  ? 

6  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  am  the  way,  the 
truth,  and  the  hfe :  no  man  cometh  unto  the 
Father,  but  by  me. 

7  If  ye  had  known  me,  ye  should  have  known 
my  Father  also  :  and  from  henceforth  ye  know 
him,  and  have  seen  him. 

8  Philip  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  shew  us  the 
Father,  and  it  sufBceth  us. 

9  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Have  I  been  so  long 
time  with  you,  and  yet  hast  thou  not  known 
me,  Philip  ?  he  that  hath  seen  me  hath  seen 
the  Father ;  and  how  sayest  thou  ihen^  Shew 
us  the  Father  ? 

10  Belie  vest  thou  not  that  I  am  in  the  Father, 
and  the  Father  in  me  ?  the  words  that  I  speak 
unto  you  I  speak  not  of  myself:  but  the  Fa- 
ther that  dwelleth  in  me,  he  doeth  the  works. 

11  Believe  me  that  I  am  in  the  Father,  and 
the  Father  in  me :  or  else  believe  me  for  the 
very  works'  sake. 

12  Yerily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  He  that  be- 
Heveth  on  me,  the  works  that  I  do  shall  he  do 
also ;  and  greater  works  than  these  shaU  he  do ; 
because  I  go  unto  my  Father. 

13  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name, 
that  will  I  do,  that  the  Father  may  be  glorified 
in  the  Son. 

356 


ST.  JOHN,  XIV. 

14  If  ye  shall  ask  any  thing  in  my  name, 
I  will  do  it 

15  \  If  ye  love  me,  keep  my  commandments. 

16  And  I  will  pray  the  Father,  and  he  shall 
give  you  another  *  Comforter,  that  he  may  abide 
with  you  for  ever ; 

17  Even  the  Spirit  of  truth ;  whom  the  world 
cannot  receive,  because  it  seeth  him  not,  nei- 
ther knoweth  him :  but  ye  know  him ;  for  he 
dwelleth  with  you,  and  shall  be  in  you. 

18  I  will  not  leave  you  comfortless:  I  will 
come  to  you. 

19  Yet  a  little  while,  and  the  world  seeth 
me  no  more ;  but  ye  see  me :  because  I  live, 
ye  shall  live  also. 

20  At  that  day  ye  shall  know  that  I  am  in 
my  Father,  and  ye  in  me,  and  I  in  you. 

21  He  that  hath  my  commandments,  and  keep- 
eth  them,  he  it  is  that  loveth  me :  and  he  that 
loveth  me  shall  be  loved  of  my  Father,  and 
I  will  love  him,  and  will  manifest  myself  to 
him. 

22  Judas  saith  unto  him,  not  Iscariot,  Lord, 
how  is  it  that  thou  wilt  manifest  thyself  unto 
us,  and  not  unto  the  world? 

23  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  If  a 
man  love  me,  he  will  keep  my  words :  and 
my  Father  will  love  him,  and  we  will  come 
unto  him,  and  make  our  abode  with  him. 

24  He  that  loveth  me  not  keepeth  not  my 
sayings :  and  the  word  which  ye  hear  is  not 
mine,  but  the  Father's  which  sent  me. 

357 


ST.  JOHN,  XY. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  being 
yet  present  with  you. 

26  But  the  Comforter,  which  is  the  Holy 
Grhost,  whom  the  Father  will  send  in  my  name, 
he  shall  teach  you  all  things,  and  bring  all 
things  to  your  remembrance,  whatsoever  I  have 
said  unto  you. 

27  Peace  I  leave  with  you,  my  peace  I  give 
unto  you :  not  as  the  world  giveth,  give  I  unto 
you.  Let  not  your  heart  be  troubled,  neither 
let  it  be  afraid. 

28  Ye  have  heard  how  I  said  unto  you,  I  go 
away,  and  come  again  unto  you.  If  ye  loved 
me,  ye  would  rejoice,  because  I  said,  I  go  unto 
the  Father :   for  my  Father  is  greater  than  I. 

29  And  now  I  have  told  you  before  it  come 
to  pass,  that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  might 
believe. 

30  Hereafter  I  will  not  talk  much  with  you: 
for  the  prince  of  this  world  cometh,  and  hath 
nothing  in  me. 

31  But  that  the  world  may  know  that  I  love 
the  Father;  and  as  the  Father  gave  me  com- 
mandment, even  so  I  do.  Arise,  let  us  go 
hence. 

CHAPTER  XY. 

1  The  consolation  and  mutual  love  between  Christ  and  his  memhers, 
under  the  parable  of  the  vine.  \%  A  comfort  in  the  hatred  and 
persecution  of  the  world.  26  The  office  of  the  Holy  Ghost^  and 
of  the  apostles. 

T    AM    the   true   vine,   and   my   Father   is    the 
-^  husbandman. 
2  Every  branch  in  me   that   beareth   not  fruit 

358 


ST.  JOHK  XV. 


he  taketh  away:  and  every  branch  that  beareth 
fruitj  he  purgeth  it,  that  it  may  bring  forth  more 
fruit. 

3  Now  ye  are  clean  through  the  word  which 
I  have  spoken  unto  you. 

4  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As  the  branch 
cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself,  except  it  abide  in 
the  vine ;  no  more  can  ye,  except  ye  abide 
in  me. 

5  I  am  the  vine,  ye  are  the  branches.  He  that 
abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him,  the  same  bringeth 
forth  much  fruit;  for  without  me  ye  can  do 
nothing. 

6  If  a  man  abide  not  in  me,  he  is  cast  forth 
as  a  branch,  and  is  withered;  and  men  gather 
them,  and  cast  them  into  the  fire,  and  they  are 
burned. 

7  If  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my  words  abide  in 
you,  ye  shall  ask  what  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be 
done  unto  you. 

8  Herein  is  my  Father  glorified,  that  ye  bear 
much  fruit ;    so  shall  ye  be  my  disciples. 

9  As  the  Father  hath  loved  me,  so  have  I 
loved  you :    continue  ye  in  my  love. 

10  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye  shall 
abide  in  my  love ;  even  as  I  have  kept  my 
Father's  commandments,  and  abide  in  his  love. 

11  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you, 
that  my  joy  might  remain  in  you,  and  that 
your  joy  might  be  full. 

12  This  is  my  commandment.  That  ye  love 
one  another,  as  I  have  loved  you. 

E  359 


ST.  JOHI^,  XV. 

13  Greater  love  hath  no  man  than  this,  that 
a  man  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friends. 

14  Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do  whatsoever  I 
command  you. 

15  Henceforth  I  caU  you  not  servants;  for  the 
servant  knoweth  not  what  his  lord  doeth :  but  I 
have  called  you  friends ;  for  all  things  that  I  have 
heard  of  my  Father  I  have  made  known  unto  you. 

16  Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen 
you,  and  ordained  you,  that  ye  should  go  and 
bring  forth  fruit,  and  that  your  fruit  should 
remain;  that  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  of  the 
Father  in  my  name,  he  may  give  it  you. 

17  These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye  love 
one  another. 

18  If  the  world  hate  you,  ye  know  that  it 
hated  me  before  it  hated  you. 

19  If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the  world  would 
love  his  own;  but  because  ye  are  not  of  the 
world,  but  I  have  chosen  you  out  of  the  world, 
therefore  the  world  hateth  you. 

20  Remember  the  word  that  I  said  unto  you, 
The  servant  is  not  greater  than  his  lord.  If 
they  have  persecuted  me,  they  will  also  perse- 
cute you;  if  they  have  kept  my  saying,  they 
will  keep  yours  also. 

21  But  all  these  things  will  they  do  unto  you 
for  my  name's  sake,  because  they  know  not  him 
that  sent  me. 

22  If  I  had  not  come  and  spoken  unto  them, 
they  had  not  had  sin;  but  now  they  have  no 
cloak  for  their  sin. 

360 


ST.  JOHW,  XVI. 


23  He  that  hateth  me  hateth  my  Father  also. 

24  If  I  had  not  done  among  them  the  works 
which  none  other  man  did^  they  had  not  had 
sin :  but  now  have  they  both  seen  and  hated 
both  me  and  my  Father. 

25  But  this  Cometh  to  pass^  that  the  word 
might  be  fulfilled  that  is  written  in  their  law, 
They  hated  me  without  a  cause. 

26  But  when  the  Comforter  is  come,  whom 
I  will  send,  unto  you  from  the  Father,  even  the 
Spirit  of  truth,  which  proceedeth  from  the  Fa- 
ther, he  shall  testify  of  me : 

27  And  ye  also  shall  bear  witness,  because  ye 
have  been  with  me  from  the  beginning. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

1  Christ  comforteth  his  disciples  against  tribulation  by  the  promise 
of  the  Holij  Ghost,  and  by  his  resurrection  and  ascension  :  23 
assureth  their  prayers  made  in  his  name  to  be  acceptable  to  Ms 
Father,     33  Peace  in  Christy  and  in  the  world  affliction. 

T^HESE  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that 
^    ye  should  not  be  offended. 

2  They  shall  put  you  out  of  the  synagogues  : 
yea,  the  time  cometh,  that  whosoever  killeth 
you  will  think  that  he  doeth  God  service. 

3  And  these  things  will  they  do  unto  you,  be- 
cause they  have  not  known  the  Father,  nor  me. 

4  But  these  things  have  I  told  you,  that  when 
the  time  shall  come,  ye  may  remember  that  I 
told  you  of  them.  And  these  things  I  said  not 
unto  you  at  the  beginning,  because  I  was  with 
you. 

5  But   now   I   go   my   way   to   him   that    sent 

361 


ST.  JOHT^,  XYI. 

me ;   and   none   of  you  asketh  me,  Whither  go- 
est  thou  ? 

6  But  because  I  have  said  these  things  unto 
you,  sorrow  hath  filled  your  heart. 

7  JSTevertheless  I  tell  you  the  truth ;  It  is 
expedient  for  you  that  I  go  away :  for  if  I 
go  not  away,  the  Comforter  will  not  come 
unto  you ;  but  if  I  depart,  I  will  send  him 
unto  you. 

8  And  when  he  is  come,  he  will  reprove  the 
world  of  sin,  and  of  righteousness,  and  of  judg- 
ment :  • 

9  Of  sin,  because  they  believe  not  on  me ; 

10  Of  righteousness,  because  I  go  to  my  Fa- 
ther, and  ye  see  me  no  more ; 

11  Of  judgment,  because  the  prince  of  this 
world  is  judged. 

12  I  have  yet  many  things  to  say  unto  you^ 
but  ye  cannot  bear  them  now. 

13  Howbeit  when  he,  the  Spirit  of  truth,  is 
come,  he  will  guide  you  into  all  truth :  for  he 
shall  not  speak  of  himself;  but  whatsoever  he 
shall  hear,  that  shall  he  speak :  and  he  will 
shew  you  things  to  come. 

14  He  shall  glorify  me :  for  he  shall  receive 
of  mine,  and  shall  shew  it  unto  you. 

15  All  things  that  the  Father  hath  are  mine: 
therefore  said  I,  that  he  shall  take  of  mine, 
and  shall  shew  it  unto  you. 

16  A  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me: 
and  again,  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me, 
because  I  go  to  the  Father. 

362 


ST.  JOHl^,  XYI. 

17  Then  said  some  of  his  disciples  among 
themselves,  What  is  this  that  he  saith  unto  us, 
A  Uttle  while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me:  and 
again,  a  httle  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me:  and, 
Because  I  go  to  the  Father? 

18  They  said  therefore,  What  is  this  that  he 
saith,  A  little  while?  we  cannot  tell  what  he 
saith. 

19  IS'ow  Jesus  knew  that  they  were  desu^ous 
to  ask  him,  and  said  unto  them.  Do  ye  in- 
quire among  yourselves  of  that  I  said,  A  lit- 
tle while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me:  and  again, 
a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me? 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  That  ye 
shall  weep  and  lament,  but  the  world  shall  re- 
joice; and  ye  shall  be  sorrowful,  but  your  sor- 
row shall  be  turned  into  joy. 

21  A  woman  when  she  is  in  travail  hath 
sorrow,  because  her  hour  is  come:  but  as  soon 
as  she  is  dehvered  of  the  child,  she  remem- 
ber eth  no  more  the  anguish,  for  joy  that  a 
man  is  born  into  the  world. 

22  And  ye  now  therefore  have  sorrow:  but 
I  will  see  you  again,  and  your  heart  shall  re- 
joice, and  your  joy   no  man  taketh  from  you. 

23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask  me  nothing. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Whatsoever  ye 
shall  ask  the  Father  in  my  name,  he  will  give 
it  you. 

24  Hitherto    have    ye    asked    nothing   in   my 

name:    ask,  and  ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy 

may  be  fuU. 

*  363 


ST.  JOHN,  XVII. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you  in 
proverbs:  but  the  time  cometh,  when  I  shall 
no  more  speak  unto  you  in  proverbs,  but  I 
shall  shew  you  plainly  of  the  Father. 

26  At  that  day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name: 
and  I  say  not  unto  you,  that  I  will  pray  the 
Father  for  you : 

27  For  the  Father  himself  loveth  you,  because 
ye  have  loved  me,  and  have  beheved  that  I 
came  out  from  God. 

28  I  came  forth  from  the  Father,  and  am 
come  into  the  world:  again,  I  leave  the  world, 
and  go  to  the  Father. 

29  His  disciples  said  unto  him,  Lo,  now  speak- 
est  thou  plainly,  and  speakest  no  proverb. 

30  ISTow  are  we  sure  that  thou  knowest  aU 
things,  and  needest  not  that  any  man  should 
ask  thee :  by  this  we  believe  that  thou  camest 
forth  from  God. 

31  Jesus  answered  them,  Do  ye  now  believe  ? 

32  Behold,  the  hour  cometh,  yea,  is  now  come, 
that  ye  shall  be  scattered,  every  man  to  his 
own,  and  shall  leave  me  alone :  and  yet  I  am 
not  alone,  because  the  Father  is  with  me. 

33  These  things  I  have  spoken  unto  you, 
that  in  me  ye  might  have  peace.  In  the  world 
ye  shall  have  tribulation :  but  be  of  good  cheer ; 
I  have  overcome  the  world. 

CHAPTER  XYII. 

1  Christ  prayeth  to  his  Father  to  glorify  him,  6  to  preserve  his 
apostles,  11  in  unity,   17  and  truth,  20  to  glorify  them,  and  all 
other  believers  with  him  in  heaven, 
364 


ST.  JOHIf,  XVII. 

^T^HESE    words    spake    Jesus,    and    lifted    up 
^    his    eyes    to   heaven,    and   said,    Father,    the 
hour   is    come ;    glorify    thy   Son,    that    thy    Son 
also  may  glorify  thee  : 

2  As  thou  hast  given  him  power  over  all 
flesh,  that  he  should  give  eternal  life  to  as 
many  as  thou  hast  given  him. 

3  And  this  is  life  eternal,  that  they  might 
know  thee  the  only  true  God,  and  Jesus  Christ, 
whom  thou  hast  sent. 

4  I  have  glorified  thee  on  the  earth:  I  have 
finished  the  work  which  thou  gavest  me  to  do. 

5  And  now,  0  Father,  glorify  thou  me  with 
thine  own  self  with  the  glory  which  I  had  with 
thee  before  the  world  was. 

6  I  have  manifested  thy  name  unto  the  men 
which  thou  gavest  me  out  of  the  world :  thine 
they  were,  and  thou  gavest  them  me  ;  and  they 
have  kept  thy  word. 

7  Now  they  have  known  that  all  things  what- 
soever thou  hast  given  me  are  of  thee. 

8  For  I  have  given  unto  them  the  words 
wliich  thou  gavest  me  ;  and  they  have  received 
them^  and  have  known  surely  that  I  came  out 
fi:'om  thee,  and  they  have  believed  that  thou 
didst  send  me. 

9  I  pray  for  them :  I  pray  not  for  the  world, 
but  for  them  which  thou  hast  given  me ;  for 
they  are  thine. 

10  And  all  mine  are  thine,  and  thine  are 
mine  ;    and  I  am  glorified  in  them. 

11  And   now   I    am    no    more    in    the    world, 

365 


ST.  JOHI^,  XVII. 

but  these  are  in  the  world,  and  I  come  to 
thee.  Holy  Father,  keep  through  thine  own 
name  those  whom  thou  hast  given  me,  that 
they  may  be  one,  as  we  are. 

12  While  I  was  with  them  in  the  world,  I 
kept  them  in  thy  name:  those  that  thou  gay- 
est me  I  have  kept,  and  none  of  them  is  lost, 
but  the  son  of  perdition;  that  the  Scripture 
might  be  fulfilled. 

13  And  now  come  I  to  thee;  and  these 
things  I  speak  in  the  world,  that  they  might 
have  my  joy  fulfilled  in  themselves. 

14  I  have  given  them  thy  word;  and  the 
world  hath  hated  them,  because  they  are  not 
of  the  world,  even  as  I  am  not  of  the  world. 

15  I  pray  not  that  thou  shouldest  take  them 
out  of  the  world,  but  that  thou  shouldest  keep 
them  from  the  evil. 

16  They  are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I  am 
not  of  the  world. 

17  Sanctify  them  through  thy  truth :  thy  word 
is  truth. 

18  As  thou  hast  sent  me  into  the  world^ 
even  so  have  I  also  sent  them  into  the  world. 

19  And  for  their  sakes  I  sanctify  myself, 
that  they  also  might  be  sanctified  through  the 
truth. 

20  JSTeither  pray  I  for  these  alone,  but  for 
them  also  which  shall  believe  on  me  through 
their  word ; 

21  That  they  all  may  be  one;  as  thou.  Fa- 
ther, art  in   me,    and   I   in   thee,  that  they  also 

366  ^        , 


ST.  JOHN,  XYIII. 

may   be   one    in    us :    that    the    world    may    be- 
lieve that  thou  hast  sent  me. 

22  And  the  glory  which  thou  gayest  me  I 
have  given  them ;  that  they  may  be  one,  even 
as  we  are  one  : 

23  I  in  them,  and  thou  in  me,  that  they 
may  be  made  perfect  in  one ;  and  that  the 
world  may  know  that  thou  hast  sent  me,  and 
hast  loved  them,  as  thou  hast  loved  me. 

24  Father,  I  will  that  they  also,  whom  thou 
hast  given  me,  be  with  me  where  I  am ;  that 
they  may  behold  my  glory,  which  thou  hast 
given  me :  for  thou  lovedst  me  before  the  foun- 
dation of  the  world. 

25  0  righteous  Father,  the  world  hath  not 
known  thee  :  but  I  have  known  thee,  and  these 
have  known  that  thou  hast  sent  me. 

26  And  I  have  declared  unto  them  thy  name, 
and  will  declare  it;  that  the  love  wherewith 
thou  hast  loved  me  -may  be  in  them,  and  I 
in  them. 

CHAPTER  XYIII. 

1  Judas  hetrayeth  Jesus.  6  The  officers  fall  to  the  ground.  10 
Teter  smiteth  off  Malchus'  ear.  12  Jesus  is  taken,  and  led  unto 
Annas  and  Caiaphas.  15  Peters  denial.  19  Jesus  examined 
before  Caiaphas.  28  His  arraignment  before  Pilate.  36  His 
kingdom.     40  The  Jews  ask  Barabbas  to  be  let  loose. 

TTTHEIN'   Jesus   had    spoken   these   words,   he 
^  ^      went    forth    with    his    disciples    over   the 

brook    Cedron,   where    was    a    garden,    into    the 

which  he  entered,  and  his  disciples. 
2  And  Judas  also,  which  betrayed  him,  knew 

367 


ST.  JOHN,  XVIII. 

the    place :     for   Jesus   ofttimes    resorted   thither 
with  his  disciples. 

3  Judas  then,  having  received  a  band  of  men 
and  officers  from  the  chief  priests  and  Phari- 
sees, Cometh  thither  with  lanterns  and  torches 
and  weapons. 

4  Jesus  therefore,  knowing  all  things  that 
should  come  upon  him,  went  forth,  and  said 
unto  them.  Whom  seek  ye  % 

5  They  answered  him,  Jesus  of  IN'azareth. 
Jesus  saith  unto  them,  I  am  he.  And  Judas 
also,  which  betrayed  him,  stood  with  them. 

6  As  soon  then  as  he  had  said  unto  them,  I 
am  Ae,  they  went  backward,  and  fell  to  the 
ground. 

7  Then  asked  he  them  again.  Whom  seek  ye? 
And  they  said,  Jesus  of  ISTazareth. 

8  Jesus  answered,  I  have  told  you  that  I  am 
he:  if  therefore  ye  seek  me,  let  these  go  their 
way: 

9  That  the  saying  might  be  fulffiled,  which 
he  spake.  Of  them  which  thou  gavest  me  have 
I  lost  none. 

10  Then  Simon  Peter  having  a  sword  drew 
it,  and  smote  the  high  priest's  servant,  and  cut 
off  his  right  ear.  The  servant's  name  was  Mal- 
chus. 

11  Then  said  Jesus  unto  Peter,  Put  up  thy 
sword  into  the  sheath:  the  cup  which  my  Fa- 
ther hath  given  me,  shall  I  not  drink  it? 

12  Then  the  band  and  the  captain  and 
officers  of  the  Jews  took  Jesus,  and  bound  him, 

368 


ST.  JOHN,  XVIII. 

13  And  led  him  away  to  Annas  first;  for  he 
was  father  in  law  to  Caiaphas,  which  was  the 
high  priest  that  same  year. 

14  ISTow  Caiaphas  was  he,  which  gave  counsel 
to  the  Jews,  that  it  was  expedient  that  one 
man  should  die  for  the  people. 

15  t  And  Simon  Peter  followed.  Jesus,  and  so 
did  another  disciple:  that  disciple  was  known 
unto  the  high  priest,  and  went  in  with  Jesus 
into  the  palace  of  the  high  priest. 

16  But  Peter  stood  at  the  door  without. 
Then  went  out  that  other  disciple,  which  was 
known  unto  the  high  priest,  and  spake  unto 
her  that  kept  the  door,  and  brought  in  Peter. 

17  Then  saith  the  damsel  that  kept  the  door 
unto  Peter,  Art  not  thou  also  one  of  this  man's 
disciples?     He  saith,  I  am  not. 

18  And  the  servants  and  officers  stood  there, 
who  had  made  a  fire  of  coals,  for  it  was  cold; 
and  they  warmed  themselves:  and  Peter  stood 
with  them,  and  warmed  himself 

19  T[  The  high  priest  then  asked  Jesus  of  his 
disciples,  and  of  his  doctrine. 

20  Jesus  answered  him,  I  spake  openly  to 
the  world;  I  ever  taught  in  the  synagogue, 
and  in  the  temple,  whither  the  Jews  always 
resort;  and  in  secret  have  I  said  nothing. 

21  Why  askest  thou  me  ?  ask  them  which 
heard  me,  what  I  have  said  unto  them :  behold, 
they  know  what  I  said. 

22  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  one  of 
the   officers   which   stood   by   struck    Jesus   with 

24  369

ST.  JOHN,  XVIII. 

the   palm   of  his   hand,    saying,   Answerest    thou 
the  high  priest  so? 

23  Jesus  answered  him,  If  I  have  spoken 
evil,  bear  witness  of  the  evil:  but  if  well,  why 
smitest  thou  me  ? 

24  Now  Annas  had  sent  him  bound  unto  Ca- 
iaphas  the  high  priest. 

25  And  Simon  Peter  stood  and  warmed  him- 
self They  said  therefore  unto  him.  Art  not 
thou  also  one  of  his  disciples?  He  denied  it^ 
and  said,  I  am  not. 

26  One  of  the  servants  of  the  high  priest, 
being  his  kinsman  whose  ear  Peter  cut  off, 
saith.  Did  not  I  see  thee  in  the  garden  with 
him  ? 

27  Peter  then  denied  again;  and  immediately 
the  cock  crew. 

28  1  Then  led  they  Jesus  from  Caiaphas  un- 
to the  hall  of  judgment:  and  it  was  early; 
and  they  themselves  went  not  into  the  judg- 
ment hall,  lest  they  should  be  defiled;  but  that 
they  might  eat  the  passover. 

29  Pilate  then  went  out  unto  them,  and  said, 
What  accusation  bring  ye  against  this  man? 

30  They  answered  and  said  unto  him.  If  he 
were  not  a  malefactor,  we  would  not  have  de- 
livered him  up  unto  thee. 

31  Then  said  Pilate  unto  them,  Take  ye  him, 
and  judge  him  according  to  your  law.  The 
Jews  therefore  said  unto  him.  It  is  not  lawful 
for  us  to  put  any  man  to  death: 

32  That   the    saying    of   Jesus    might    be    ful- 

370 


ST.  JOHIf,  XVIII. 

filled,    which    he    spake,    signifying    what    death 
he  should  die. 

33  Then  Pilate  entered  into  the  judgment  hall 
again,  and  called  Jesus,  and  said  unto  him,  Art 
thou  the  King  of  the  Jews  ? 

34  Jesus  answered  him,  Sayest  thou  this  thing 
of  thyself,  or  did  others  tell  it  thee  of  me  ? 

35  Pilate  answered.  Am  I  a  Jew  ?  Thine 
own  nation  and  the  chief  priests  have  delivered 
thee  unto  me :    what  hast  thou  done  ? 

36 .  Jesus  answered.  My  kingdom  is  not  of 
this  world :  if  my  kingdom  were  of  this  world, 
then  would  my  servants  fight,  that  I  should 
not  be  delivered  to  the  Jews:  but  now  is  my 
kingdom  not  from  hence. 

37  Pilate  therefore  said  unto  him.  Art  thou 
a  king  then?  Jesus  answered.  Thou  sayest  that 
I  am  a  king.  To  this  end  was  I  born,  and  for 
this  cause  came  I  into  the  world,  that  I  should 
bear  witness  unto  the  truth.  Every  one  that  is 
of  the  truth  heareth  my  voice. 

38  Pilate  saith  unto  him.  What  is  ti^uth? 
And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  went  out  again 
unto  the  Jews,  and  saith  unto  them,  I  find  in 
him  no  fault  at  all. 

39  But  ye  have  a  custom,  that  I  should  re- 
lease unto  you  one  at  the  passover:  will  ye 
therefore  that  I  release  unto  you  the  King  of 
the  Jews  ? 

40  Then  cried  they  all  again,  saying,  ISTot 
this  man,  but  Barabbas.  JSTow  Barabbas  was  a 
robber. 

371 


ST.  JOHN,  XIX 


CHAPTER  XIX. 

1  Christ  is  scourged,  crowned  loith  thorns^  and  beaten,  4  Pilate  is 
desirous  to  release  him,  hut  being  overcome  with  the  outrage  of 
the  Jews,  he  delivered  him  to  be  crucified.  23  They  cast  lots  for 
his  garments.  26  He  commendeth  his  mother  to  John.  28  He 
dieth.  31  His  side  is  pierced.  38  He  is  buried  bij  Joseph  and 
Nicodemus. 

nPHElN'     Pilate     therefore     took     Jesus,     and 
^     scourged  him. 

2  And  the  soldiers  platted  a  crown  of  thorns, 
and  put  it  on  his  head,  and  they  put  on  him  a 
purple  robe, 

3  And  said.  Hail,  King  of  the  Jews !  and  they 
smote  him  with  their  hands. 

4  Pilate  therefore  went  forth  again,  and  saith 
unto  them.  Behold,  I  bring  him  forth  to  you, 
that  ye  may  know  that  I  find  no  fault  in  him. 

5  Then  came  Jesus  forth,  wearing  the  crown 
of  thorns,  and  the  purple  robe.  And  Pilate 
saith  unto  them.  Behold  the  man  ! 

6  When  the  chief  priests  therefore  and  offi- 
cers saw  him,  they  cried  out,  saying.  Crucify 
Am,  crucify  him.  Pilate  saith  unto  them.  Take 
ye  him,  and  crucify  him:  for  I  find  no  fault 
in  him. 

7  The  Jews  answered  him.  We  have  a  law, 
and  by  our  law  he  ought  to  die,  because  he 
made  himself  the  Son  of  Grod. 

8  1*  When  Pilate  therefore  heard  that  saying, 
he  was  the  more  afraid ; 

9  And  went  again  into  the  judgment  hall, 
and  saith  unto  Jesus,  Whence  art  thou  ?  But 
Jesus  gave  him  no  answer. 

372 


ST.  JOHN,  XIX. 

10  Then  saith  Pilate  unto  him,  Speakest  thou 
not  unto  me  ?  knowest  thou  not  that  I  have 
power  to  crucify  thee,  and  have  power  to  re- 
lease thee  ? 

11  Jesus  answered,  Thou  couldest  have  no 
power  at  all  against  me,  except  it  were  given 
thee  from  above :  therefore  he  that  delivered 
me  unto  thee  hath  the  greater  sin. 

12  And  from  thenceforth  Pilate  sought  to  re- 
lease him :  but  the  Jews  cried  out,  saying,  If 
thou  let  this  man  go,  thou  art  not  Cesar's 
friend :  whosoever  maketh  himself  a  king  speak- 
eth  against  Cesar. 

13  ^  When  Pilate  therefore  heard  that  saying, 
he  brought  Jesus  forth,  and  sat  down  in  the 
judgment  seat  in  a  place  that  is  called  the 
Pavement,  but  in  the  Hebrew,  Gabbatha. 

14  And  it  was  the  preparation  of  the  pass- 
over,  and  about  the  sixth  hour :  and  he  saith 
unto  the  Jews,  Behold  your  King ! 

15  But  they  cried  out.  Away  with  liim^  away 
with  liim^  crucify  him.  Pilate  saith  unto  them, 
Shall  I  crucify  your  King  ?  The  chief  priests 
answered.  We  have  no  king  but  Cesar. 

16  Then  delivered  he  him  therefore  unto  them 
to  be  crucified.  And  they  took  Jesus,  and  led 
Mm  away. 

17  And  he  bearing  his  cross  went  forth  into  a 
place  called  the  place  of  a  skull,  which  is  called 
in  the  Hebrew  Golgotha: 

18  Where  they  crucified  him,  and  two  others  with 
him,  on  either  side  one,  and  Jesus  in  the  midst. 

373 


ST.  JOHN,  XIX. 

19  Tf  And  Pilate  wrote  a  title,  and  put  it  on 
the  cross.  And  the  writing  was,  JESUS  OF 
T^AZARETH  THE  KIXO  OF  THE  JEWS. 

20  This  title  then  read  many  of  the  Jews; 
for  the  place  where  Jesus  was  crucified  was 
nigh  to  the  city:  and  it  was  written  in  Hebrew, 
and  Grreek,  and  Latin. 

21  Then  said  the  chief  priests  of  the  Jews  to 
Pilate,  Write  not,  The  King  of  the  Jews;  but 
that  he  said,  I  am  King  of  the  Jews. 

22  Pilate  answered,  What  I  have  written  I 
have  written. 

23  1  Then  the  soldiers,  when  they  had  crucified 
Jesus,  took  his  garments,  and  made  four  parts, 
to  every  soldier  a  part ;  and  also  his  coat :  now 
the  coat  was  without  seam,  woven  from  the  top 
throughout. 

24  They  said  therefore  among  themselves.  Let 
us  not  rend  it,  but  cast  lots  for  it,  whose  it 
shall  be:  that  the  Scripture  might  be  fulfilled, 
which  saith.  They  parted  my  raiment  among 
them,  and  for  my  vesture  they  did  cast  lots. 
These  things  therefore  the  soldiers  did. 

25  T  ISTow  there  stood  by  the  cross  of  Jesus 
his  mother,  and  his  mother's  sister,  Mary  the 
wife  of  Cleophas,  and  Mary  Magdalene. 

26  When  Jesus  therefore  saw  his  mother,  and 
the  disciple  standing  by,  whom  he  loved,  he 
saith  unto  his  mother,  Woman,  behold  thy  son! 

27  Then  saith  he  to  the  disciple,  Behold  thy 
mother!  And  from  that  hour  that  disciple  took 
her  unto  his  own  ho^ne. 

374 


ST.  JOHN,  XIX. 

28  t  After  this,  Jesus  knowing  that  all  things 
were  now  accomplished,  that  the  Scripture  might 
be  fulfilled,  saith,  I  thirst.  j 

29  Xow  there  was  set  a  vessel  full  of  vinegar : 
and  they  filled  a  sponge  with  Adnegar,  and  put 
it  upon  hyssop,  and  put  it  to  his  mouth. 

30  When  Jesus  therefore  had  received  the 
vinegar,  he  said.  It  is  finished :  and  he  bowed 
his  head,  and  gave  up  the  ghost. 

81  The  Jews  therefore,  because  it  was  the 
preparation,  that  the  bodies  should  not  remain* 
upon  the  cross  on  the  sabbath  day,  (for  that 
sabbath  day  was  a  high  day,)  besought  Pilate 
that  their  legs  might  be  broken,  and  that  they 
might  be  taken  away. 

32  Then  came  the  soldiers,  and  brake  the  legs 
of  the  first,  and  of  the  other  which  was  cruci- 
fied with  him. 

33  But  when  they  came  to  Jesus,  and  saw 
that  he  was  dead  akeady,  they  brake  not  his 
legs : 

34  But  one  of  the  soldiers  with  a  spear 
pierced  his  side,  and  forthwith  came  there  out 
blood  and  water. 

35  And  he  that  saw  it  bare  record,  and  his 
record  is  true;  and  he  knoweth  that  he  saith 
true,  that  ye  might  believe. 

36  For  these  things  were  done,  that  the  Scrip- 
ture should  be  fulfilled,  A  bone  of  him  shall  not 
be  broken. 

37  And    again    another   Scripture   saith,  They 

shall  look  on  him  whom  they  pierced. 

F  375 


ST.  JOKN,  XX. 

38  1"  And  after  this  Joseph  of  Arimathea, 
being  a  disciple  of  Jesus,  but  secretly  for  fear 
of  the  Jews,  besought  Pilate  that  he  might  take 
away  the  body  of  Jesus :  and  Pilate  gave  Mm 
leave.  He  came  therefore,  and  took  the  body 
of  Jesus. 

39  And  there  came  also  Mcodemus,  (which 
at  the  first  came  to  Jesus  by  night,)  and  brought 
a  mixture  of  myrrh  and  aloes,  about  a  hundred 
pound  weight. 

40  Then  took  they  the  body  of  Jesus,  and 
wound  it  in  linen  clothes  with  the  spices,  as  the 
manner  of  the  Jews  is  to  bury. 

41  IS^ow  in  the  place  where  he  was  crucified 
there  was  a  garden;  and  in  the  garden  a  new 
sepulchre,  wherein  was  never  man  yet  laid. 

42  There  laid  they  Jesus  therefore  because  of 
the  Jews'  preparation  day ;  for  the  sepulchre 
was  nigh  at  hand, 

CHAPTER  XX. 

1  Mary  cometh  to  the  sepulchre:  3  so  do  Peter  and  John, 
ignorant  of  the  resurrection.  1 1  Jesus  appear eth  to  Mary 
Magdalene,  19  and  to  his  disciples.  24  The  incredulity,  and 
confession  of  Thomas.  30  The  Scripture  is  sufficient  to  salva- 
tion. 

'T^HE  first  day  of  the  week  cometh  Mary  Mag- 
-^     dalene    early,   when   it   was    yet   dark,   unto 
the    sepulchre,  and   seeth   the    stone  taken  away 
from  the  sepulchre. 

2    Then    she    runneth,    and    cometh    to    Simon 
Peter,   and    to    the    other   disciple,   whom   Jesus 
loved,    and    saith    unto    them,   They   have    taken 
376 


ST.  JOHN,  XX. 

away   the   Lord   out   of   the    sepulchre,    and   we 
know  not  where  they  have  laid  him. 

3  Peter  therefore  went  forth,  and  that  other 
disciple,  and  came  to  the  sepulchre. 

4  So  they  ran  both  together:  and  the  other 
disciple  did  outrun  Peter,  and  came  first  to  the 
sepulchre. 

5  And  he  stooping  down,  and  looking  in^  saw 
the  hnen  clothes  lying;   yet  went  he  not  in. 

6  Then  cometh  Simon  Peter  following  him 
and  went  into  the  sepulchre,  and  seeth  the 
hnen  clothes  he, 

7  And  the  napkin,  that  was  about  his  head, 
not  lying  with  the  linen  clothes,  but  wrapped 
together  in  a  place  by  itself 

8  Then  went  in  also  that  other  disciple,  which 
came  first  to  the  sepulchre,  and  he  saw,  and 
believed. 

9  For  as  yet  they  knew  not  the  Scripture,  that 
he  must  rise  again  from  the  dead. 

10  Then  the  disciples  went  away  again  unto 
their  own  home. 

11  t  But  Mary  stood  without  at  the  sepul- 
chre weeping:  and  as  she  wept,  she  stooped 
down,  and  looked  into  the  sepulchre, 

12  And  seeth  two  angels  in  white  sitting,  the 
one  at  the  head,  and  the  other  at  the  feet, 
where  the  body  of  Jesus  had  lain. 

13  And  they  say  unto  her,  "Woman,  why 
weepest  thou?  She  saith  unto  them.  Because 
they  have  taken  away  my  Lord,  and  I  know 
not  where  they  have  laid  him. 

377 


ST.  JOHN,  XX. 

14  And  when  she  had  thus  said,  she  turned 
herself  back,  and  saw  Jesus  standing,  and  knew 
not  that  it  was  Jesus. 

15  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Woman,  why  weepest 
thou?  whom  seekest  thou?  Slie,  supposing  him 
to  be  the  gardener,  saith  unto  him.  Sir,  if  thou 
have  borne  him  hence,  tell  me  where  thou  hast 
laid  him,  and  I  will  take  him  away. 

16  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Mary.  She  turned 
herself,  and  saith  unto  him,  Rabboni;  which  is 
to  say.  Master. 

17  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Touch  me  not;  for 
I  am  not  yet  ascended  to  my  Father :  but  go 
to  my  brethren,  and  say  unto  them,  I  ascend 
unto  my  Father,  and  your  Father;  and  to  my 
God,  and  your  God. 

18  Mary  Magdalene  came  and  told  the  dis- 
ciples that  she  had  seen  the  Lord,  and  that  he 
had  spoken  these  things  unto  her. 

19  \  Then  the  same  day  at  evening,  being 
the  first  day  of  the  week,  when  the  doors  were 
shut  where  the  disciples  were  assembled  for 
fear  of  the  Jews,  came  Jesus  and  stood  in  the 
midst,  and  saith  unto  them.  Peace  he  unto 
you. 

20  And  when  he  had  so*  said,  he  shewed 
unto  them  Ms  hands  and  his  side.  Then  were 
the  disciples  glad,  when  they  saw  the  Lord. 

21  Then  said  Jesus  to  them  again,  Peace  he 
unto  you :  as  my  Father  hath  sent  me,  even 
so  send  I  you. 

22  And   when   he   had   said   this,  he   breathed 
1  378 


ST.  JOHI^,  XX. 

on   them^  and    saith   unto   them.  Receive   ye  the 
Holy  Ghost: 

23  Whosesoever  sins  ye  remit,  they  are  remit- 
ted unto  them ;  and  whosesoever  sins  ye  re- 
tain, they  are  retained. 

24  Tf  But  Thomas,  one  of  the  twelve,  called 
Didymus,  was  not  with  them  when  Jesus  came. 

25  The  other  disciples  therefore  said  unto  him^ 
We  have  seen  the  Lord.  But  he  said  unto  them. 
Except  I  shall  see  in  his  hands  the  print  of 
the  nails,  and  put  my  finger  into  the  print  of 
the  nails,  and  thrust  my  hand  into  his  side,  I'' 
will  not  believe. 

26  T  And  after  eight  days  again  his  disciples 
were  within,  and  Thomas  with  them  :  then  came 
Jesus,  the  doors  being  shut,  and  stood  in  the 
midst,  and  said.  Peace  he  unto  you. 

27  Then  saith  he  to  Thomas,  Reach  hither 
thy  finger,  and  behold  my  hands ;  and  reach 
hither  thy  hand,  and  thrust  it  into  my  side ; 
and  be  not  faithless,  but  believing. 

28  And  Thomas  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
My  Lord  and  my  God. 

29  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Thomas,  because  thou 
hast  seen  me,  thou  hast  believed :  blessed  are 
they  that  have  not  seen,  and  yet  have  beheved. 

30  \  And  many  other  signs  truly  did  Jesus 
in  the  presen'ce  of  his  disciples,  which  are  not 
written  in  this  book : 

31  But  these  are  written,  that  ye  might  beheve 
that  Jesus  is  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God ;  and  that 
believing  ye  might  have  hfe  thi^ough  his  name. 

379 


ST.  JOHK  XXI. 


CHAPTER  XXI. 

1  Christ  appearing  again  to  his  disciples  tvas  known  of  them  hy  the 
great  draught  of  fishes.  12  He  dineth  with  them:  15  earnestly 
commandeth  Peter  to  feed  his  lambs  and  sheep:  \S  foretelleth 
him  of  his  death  :  22  rebuketh  his  curiosity  touching  John.  25 
The  conclusion, 

\    AFTER    these    things    Jesus    shewed    himself 
"^^   again   to  the  disciples  at   the  sea  of  Tibe- 
\  rias ;    and  on  this  wise  shewed  he  himself. 

2  There  were  together  Simon  Peter,  and  Thom- 
as called  Didyilius,  and  Nathanael  of  Cana  in 
Galilee,  and  the  sons  of  Zebedee,  and  two  other 
of  his  disciples. 

3  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  them,  I  go  a  fish- 
ing. They  say  unto  him,  We  also  go  with  thee. 
They  went  forth,  and  entered  into  a  ship  im- 
mediately ;   and  that  night  they  caught  nothing. 

4  But  when  the  morning  was  now  come,  Je- 
sus stood  on  the  shore ;  but  the  disciples  knew 
not  that  it  was  Jesus. 

5  Then  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Children,  have 
ye  any  meat  ?     They  answered  him,  K'o. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them.  Cast  the  net  on 
the  right  side  of  the  ship,  and  ye  shall  find. 
They  cast  therefore,  and  now  they  were  not 
able  to  draw  it  for  the  multitude  of  fishes. 

7  Therefore  that  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved 
saith  unto  Peter,  It  is  the  Loixl.  ]^ow  when 
Simon  Peter  heard  that  it  was  the  Lord,  he 
girt  Ms  fisher's  coat  unto  A/m,  (for  he  was  na- 
ked,) and  did  cast  himself  into  the  sea. 

,    8    And   the    other    disciples    came    in    a    little 
'x),  (for  they   were  not   far   from  land,   but   as 
/        380 


ST.  JOHT^,  XXI. 

it   were   two   hundred   cubits,)   dragging  the   net 
with  fishes. 

9  As  soon  then  as  they  were  come  to  land, 
they  saw  a  fire  of  coals  there,  and  fish  laid 
thereon,  and  bread. 

10  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Bring  of  the  fish 
which  ye  have  now  caught. 

11  Simon  Peter  went  up,  and  drew  the  net 
to  land  full  of  great  fishes,  a  hundred  and  fifty 
and  three :  and  for  all  there  were  so  many,  yet 
was  not  the  net  broken. 

12  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Come  and  dine. 
And  none  of  the  disciples  durst  ask  him.  Who 
art  thou  ?   knowing  that  it  was  the  Lord. 

13  Jesus  then  cometh,  and  taketh  bread,  and 
giveth  them,  and  fish  likewise. 

14  This  is  now  the  third  time  that  Jesus 
shewed  himself  to  his  disciples,  after  that  he 
was  risen  from  the  dead. 

15  T  So  when  they  had  dined,  Jesus  saith  to 
Simon  Peter,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou 
me  more  than  these  ?  He  saith  unto  him.  Yea, 
Lord ;  thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He  saith 
unto  him.  Feed  my  lambs. 

16  He  saith  to  him  again  the  second  time, 
Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me?  He  saith 
unto  him.  Yea,  Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I  love 
thee.     He  saith  unto  him.  Feed  my  sheep. 

17  He  saith  unto  him   the  third  time,  Simon/ 
son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  ?     Peter  was  griev- 
ed  because   he    said   unto   him    the    third    time, 
Lovest  thou  me  %     And  he  said  unto  him.  Lord,

ST.  JOHN,  XXL 

thou   knowest   all   things;    thou   knowest   that    I 
love  thee.     Jesus  saith  unto  Mm,  Feed  my  sheep. 

18  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee.  When  thou 
wast  young,  thou  girdedst  thyself,  and  walkedst 
whither  thou  wouldest:  but  when  thou  shalt  be 
old,  thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and  an- 
other shall  gird  thee,  and  carry  thee  whither 
thou  wouldest  not. 

19  This  spake  he,  signifying  by  what  death 
he  should  glorify  God.  And  when  he  had 
spoken  this,  he  saith  unto  him.  Follow  me. 

20  Then  Peter,  turning  about,  seeth  the  dis- 
ciple whom  Jesus  loved  following;  which  also 
leaned  on  his  breast  at  supper,  and  said.  Lord, 
which  is  he  that  betrayeth  thee? 

21  Peter  seeing  him  saith  to  Jesus,  Lord,  and 
what  shall  this  man  do? 

22  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  If  I  will  that  he  tariy 
till  I  come,  what  is  that  to  thee  %  follow  thou  me. 

23  Then  went  this  saying  abroad  among  the 
brethren,  that  that  disciple  should  not  die:  yet 
Jesus  said  not  unto  him.  He  shall  not  die;  but, 
If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is  that 

to  thee? 

24  This  is  the  disciple  which  testifieth  of  these 
things,  and  wrote  these  things:  and  we  know 
that  his  testimony  is  true. 

25  And  there  are  also  many  other  things 
which  Jesus  did,  the  which,  if  they  should  be 
written  every  one,  I  suppose  that  even  the 
world  itself  could  not  contain  the  books  that 
should  be  written.     Amen.
